Earthrise || Short Film

Earthrise tells the story of the first image captured of the Earth from space in 1968. 

Told through the voices of the Apollo 8 astronauts themselves, 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. 

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