"The Last Steps" (Ostatnie kroki) do film składający się z dokumentów filmowych z misji Apollo 17.
Światowa premiera miała miejsce 8 października 2016 podczas Hamptons International Film Festival w East Hampton, New York.

Following its world premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival, "The Last Steps" is set to debut on Great Big Story later this fall, in time for the 44th anniversary of the mission. (...)
