Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites
Documentary Short
Everyone knows Neil Armstrong came back from the moon in 1969 – but it wasn’t until three years later, when the people of a tiny Scottish town stepped in, that he finally got home.
Winner of the 2026 London Critics' Circle Best Short Film prize, Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites is a film about the day one of the world's 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.
