TCFF Screening of FOR ALL HUMANKIND

Twin Cities Film Fest is proud to present a special screening of FOR ALL HUMANKIND.

FOR ALL HUMANKIND takes a deep dive into what space exploration means for society by comparing the parallel events of 1969 and 2020. These two years - over fifty years apart - highlight the best the US has to offer in the realms of science, technology and innovation. But both years were also rife with civil unrest, as racial inequity and injustice spilled into the streets with protests that captivated the country and world.
