How the World Looks Now is a short, fictional documentary about a retired English teacher and the poetic effects of NASA's Apollo 8 mission and their 1968 Earthrise photo on his life, then and now, as well as its effect on the astronauts themselves. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the photo taken by the astronauts aboard Apollo 8. It was the first time in human history we had an image of the earth from outer space. "We were the first humans to see the world in its majestic totality," as one of the astronaut's said, "and we felt small and immensely large at the same time." (Sedona International Film Festival)
