About This Movie

We Too Walked on the Moon is a fascinating exploration of Congolese lives set against the backdrop of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. It juxtaposes the monumental achievement of space travel with the mundane yet rich experiences of a teacher, a doctor, and an artist in Congo. The film’s tone is light, almost whimsical, while still tackling deeper themes of aspiration and everyday struggles. You get this interesting blend of humor and poignancy, and the pacing feels almost reflective, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The performances are genuine, capturing a slice of life that feels both universal and uniquely Congolese. It's this distinct perspective that makes it stand out in the comedy genre.
