Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites
His greatest leap. 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. Neil Armstrong and the Langholmites is a film about the day one of the world's most famous men visisted the small 'burgh' of Langholm and the profound emotional effect the place, and its people, had on the normally stoic astronaut. From Duncan Cowles, director of acclaimed 2024 feature 'Silent Men', comes a wry and beautiful slice of Scottish life and a unique, lesser-known tale about on one of America's most famous sons.
