It took eight days for the crew of Apollo 11 to travel to the moon and back in July 1969. In commemoration, here are eight movies, television shows and podcasts that illuminate just how revolutionary that journey was.

Even if you have seen a number of moon-landing documentaries and have a familiarity with their footage, Todd Douglas Miller’s film is something special. The director obtained access to 65-millimeter Panavision footage that was shot on the ground leading up to the launch. Much of it had been sitting in the National Archives and was never shown publicly. Miller weaves a narrative of the launch, landing, return and recovery of the astronauts, all from archival footage (including the discovered footage) and audio.

It is a marvel to see on the big screen if you can. Science museums have been screening a shorter version in their theaters this spring and summer, and CNN is airing the movie in the lead-up to the July anniversary.
