Dark Side of the Moon is an intellectually complex film that prioritizes the deconstruction of systemic truth over demographic representation. It uses a mockumentary format to question the reliability of official state histories.

Official Synopsis
A French documentary or, one might say more accurately, a mockumentary, by director William Karel which originally aired on Arte in 2002 with the title Opération Lune. The basic premise for the film is the theory that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and actually recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick.
