Eleven hidden space history details in new documentary 'Apollo 11'
https://www.collectspace.com/news/news-030119a-apollo11-documentary-film-details.html
Mother Country
"Apollo 11" producer Thomas Petersen was listening to the mission's space-to-ground audio when he caught sound of what he thought was a snippet of music from one of the astronaut's personal cassettes. The tune was faint and he could not immediately make it out. Listening to it several times more, he was able to make out just enough of the lyrics to identify the track.
"What ever happened to those faces in the old photographs?"
"Mother Country" by John Stewart captured a note of nostalgia that Peterson and Miller knew they wanted in the film. They traveled to meet with Stewart's widow, who after seeing an early test of the footage, agreed to the song's use in "Apollo 11." Just as it did on board the mission, "Mother Country" plays as the astronauts' make their triumphant return to Earth.
