1969. The moon. A challenge to American ideas of exceptionalism, industry, ambition and the power of dreams.

Writers: Mickey Down and Konrad Kay.
Director: Alexander Lass.

“Sometimes you have to go a long way out of your way to come back a short distance correctly!” A sentiment similar to this is said several times by Jerry played by Phil Nichol. Peter (Graham Elwell) is sitting quietly reading on his usual bench in Central Park, it is a quiet Sunday afternoon and he is enjoying the peace and quiet. Suddenly he is bothered by a wasp, after Peter has chased it off, Jerry appears and walks past, the wasp returns and Jerry watches fascinated until Peter is pushed too far and kills the wasp. It is in that moment fate is set and the battle for the bench if not life itself began/begins.
