Written and Directed by Fletcher Michael

First Liar on the Moon imagines that the moon landing was faked and that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were not astronauts, but actors. While Buzz rides the momentum of the falsehood to a promising career in politics, Neil's struggle to come to terms with the lie threatens to tear him -- and Buzz -- apart.
