Yugoslav space program: myth or reality? The cold war, the space race, and NASA’s moon landing are landmark events that defined an era. But they are also fodder for conspiracy theories. This intriguing docu-fiction explores the myth of the secret multi-billion-dollar deal behind America’s purchase of Yugoslavia’s clandestine space programme in the early 1960s. The film had its world premiere at Tribeca. (Croatian, English, Serbian and Slovene spoken)
