I made a film called DID WE GO?
I was paid $65,000 from the State of Ohio to try and prove we really landed on the moon.
I traveled all over OHIO trying to get Neil to talk…he will not talk to anyone.
Here is link to my film on youtube. It opens with me on WLW-AM Radio in Ohio, trying to reach out to Neil
