Apollo Wives

Documentary following the reunion of ten of the wives of Apollo astronauts. They discuss death, danger and divorce, detailing how many of their men struggled to come back to Earth.

Ten extraordinary women, all in their seventies, come to Arizona for a special reunion. They are each different but have one thing in common - each was married to an Apollo astronaut. These women were right at the heart of the most ambitious journey ever made, as America shot for the moon.

In exclusive interviews, they tell how it felt to watch their husband blast off into space and about the death, danger and divorce as many of their men struggled to come back to Earth.
