Apollo 10 ?: A Space Age Childhood tells the story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives -- the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and through the eyes of a kid growing up in Houston, Texas who has intergalactic dreams of his own. Taking inspiration from Academy Award-nominated? filmmaker Richard Linklater's own life, Apollo 10 ?: A Space Age Childhood is a snapshot of American life in the 1960s that is part coming of age, part societal commentary, and part out-of-this-world adventure.
