Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites

Director:

Everyone knows Neil Armstrong came back from the Moon in 1969 but it wasnt until three years later, when the people of a tiny Scottish town stepped in, that he finally got home. Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites is a film about the day one of the worlds most famous men visited the small burgh of Langholm and the profound emotional effect the place, and its people, had on the normally stoic astronaut. From Industria Studios and Duncan Cowles, director of acclaimed 2024 feature Silent Men, comes a wry and beautiful slice of Scottish life and a unique, lesser-known tale about one of Americas most famous sons.
