Inspirational New Film Depicts One Indian Family's Chance Encounter With Neil Armstrong

The moments that unite the world are almost uniformly tragic. Wars and natural disasters are usually at the top of the list, but in 1969 it was the moon landing and Neil Armstrong that brought the world together. While the landing itself is depicted in dozens of films, hardly anyone focuses on the months after this historic moment.

I recently attended a premiere of a new short film called One Small Visit that dramatizes the story of an Indian immigrant family's accidental encounter with the Armstrong family. Set in a time of deep racial division, the heartwarming film reminds us that human kindness has always been alive and can come from the most unexpected places. The film is quickly going viral and is in Oscar contention as well. If you're in one of the cities where they are doing a limited release, you can check it out for yourself.
