At
the heart of the Apollo program was the special band of brothers in Mission
Control. The feature documentary film Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of
Apollo tells their stories, describing the rural homesteads and smokestack
towns they came from, and the remarkable team they became. The film consists of
interviews with those who worked in Mission Control and astronauts, enhanced by
extraordinary archive, stunning VFX and an original orchestral score. The film covers
the first journeys to the moon by Apollo 8 and Apollo 11, and the huge effort
required to save the crew of Apollo 13.
Notes from composer Chris Roe
Blending the orchestra with vintage synthesisers, the soundtrack to
Mission Control: Unsung Heroes of Apollo (nominated for the Music and Sound
Awards 2018) is an emotional rollercoaster, capturing the nerves, intense focus
and brief moments of elation felt by the ‘guys on the ground’ in NASA’s Apollo
era. However, alongside the unfolding drama of the Apollo missions, the real
focus of this film is on the camaraderie and loyalty of this closely-knit team,
and throughout the soundtrack the warm glow of American folk music reflects
their personal stories.
