David Hooper, Managing Director of Espresso Media International is handling the international rights on the Zig Zag’s 1 x 60’ documentary film that studies the conspiracy theories that persist surrounding the Apollo 11 moon landing. Prior to MIPTV, Foxtel in Australia and Mediawan in France acquired the film that coincides with 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 mission.
Hooper said: “We are very pleased to be working with Zig Zag on this 50th anniversary film of the Moon Landing and receiving the support of both Foxtel and Mediawan. The interest on this film has been extremely encouraging and we expect more licensing announcements shortly.”
Matt Graff, Managing Director of Zig Zag Productions, said: “50 years on and the political themes and conspiracies surrounding the moon landing are still entirely relevant. We are delighted to be working with David and his team at Espresso Media International in getting this film to market. It’s one small step for Zig Zag and a giant leap for this documentary!” 
Moon Landings: World’s Greatest Hoax? examines the most famous conspiracy theories behind the 1969 Apollo programme that saw Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk in the moon…or did they? An astonishing number of the public still believe the 1969 moon landings were an elaborate hoax designed to trump Russia in the space race.
Taking a fresh look at new scientific evidence and questions raised through technological advancements and featuring new and archive interviews with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and former NASA engineer Pat Norris, the film sets out to answer the question: did the Apollo astronauts really land on the moon?
