JustWatchHouston, We Have a Problem
The cold war, the space race, and NASA’s moon landing are iconic events that defined an era. They are also fodder for conspiracy theories. Houston, We Have a Problem explores the myth of a secret multi-billion-dollar deal involving America’s purchase of Yugoslavia’s space program in the early 1960s. This masterfully crafted docu-drama is an intriguing blend of reality and fiction that recreates recent history through the prism of conspiracy theories. It invites the audience to make up its own mind about what is invented and what is real. Using a wealth of never-before-seen archive footage, the film brings together all the strands of the myth through an eyewitness account from Ivan, a senior space engineer in the controversial Yugoslav space program. As fact, rumour and fiction intertwine, the final decades of Yugoslav history are laid out in a way that dares the audience to take a highly critical view of what they see and hear on the screen.
