Prisoners Of The Moon
On the 1st July 1990 at Toronto Airport an 83 year-old man was arrested for war crimes. Twenty-one years earlier, Arthur Rudolph had been the much-honoured linchpin of the first moon landing. In the year of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, this feature documentary tells the story of the only former Nazi to be stripped of his American citizenship and deported. When he tried to return, his Immigration Tribunal revealed much about the Germans who lead the moon shot, their wartime records, the cover-up that brought them to America, why it took forty years to investigate them, and why none of them were brought to trial.
