Earthrise - The first glimpse of planet Earth from space

Told solely by the Apollo 8 astronauts, the film recounts their experiences and memories and explores the beauty, awe, and grandeur of the Earth against the blackness of space.

This iconic image had a powerful impact on the astronauts and the world, offering a perspective that transcended national, political, and religious boundaries.

Told 50 years later, Earthrise compels us to remember this shift and to reflect on the Earth as a shared home.
