Synopsis by Jack Rodgers
Two young CIA agents (Matthew Johnson and Owen Williams) pose as documentary filmmakers at NASA in 1967 in order to capture an alleged Soviet mole who's sabotaging the U.S. space program. However, their assignment leads them to uncover an even more shocking conspiracy: NASA is planning to fake the moon landing with the help of Stanley Kubrick. Directed by Johnson, Operation Avalanche received its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
