Telling the story of the image that shared our world

Earthrise is a short documentary celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first image captured of the Earth from space in 1968. To accompany the film, we created web pages and a collection of educational and marketing materials, including movie posters, screening kits, conversation cards, and a discussion guide in both English and Spanish. Like all of our films, our primary responsibility was to think through the entire journey a busy educator would need to go on to have a successful screening and discussion in their classroom. The highlight of this project for me was diving deep into the story and cultural context of one of the most iconic images of the 20th century.
