Houston, wir haben ein Problem! (2016)

Houston, wir haben ein Problem!: Directed by Ziga Virc. With Slavoj Zizek, Josip Broz Tito, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson. Explores the myth of the secret multi-billion-dollar deal behind America’s purchase of Yugoslavia’s clandestine space program in the early 1960s.

“While this documentary promised a deep look into a deal between Yugoslavia and the United States to transfer space technology to NASA, there is not enough new information presented to even fill a short magazine article. Most of the film is padded with stories about Yugoslaviau0026#39;s history, Tito and a single scientist from Yugoslavia who travels back to his home country for the first time in 50 years.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat little information is presented comes from an American historian who seems to be the only one in the documentary who speaks English. Subtitles are needed for most of the interviews in this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn any event, if you want to see a documentary that gives a passing mention to the Yugoslavian space program and more of a backstory into US-Yugoslavian relations from the 1960u0026#39;s to 1970u0026#39;s you may enjoy this. Beyond the first 30 minutes or so donu0026#39;t expect to learn much about NASA, the space program or what this title is supposed to focus on.”
