The movie 'In the Shadow of the Moon' was produced by companies not owned by the Chinese government.
In reality, the movie was produced in partnership between three companies, 42, Automatic, and Nightshade. 42 is a privately held company, meaning the Chinese government does not own it. It's based in London, and in a press release in Deadline announcing Netflix signing a first-look deal with 42, all the partners in the company are listed. They are Ben Pugh, Rory Aitken, Kate Buckley, Kathy King, and Josh Varney.
