Which Apollo program documentary did I watch?

Please help me identify a specific documentary regarding the Apollo program.
Last summer, during the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, I saw a documentary regarding the Apollo program on TV. In one scene that I'd like to find again, landing parachutes swing back and forth in a shot looking up from the capsule. I think it's silent, but it might have music. I don't know which mission's landing is shown.
It wasn't In the Shadow of the Moon.

The trailer For All Mankind does show the parachute shot you refer to.
It's from 1989, but was shown quite a bit during the anniversay last year.

Haven't seen it myself, so it's a shot in the dark, but maybe it was part of When We Left Earth? Wikipedia says the third segment, "Landing the Eagle," was re-aired specially for the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it in pt. 3 (or maybe even pt. 4, which is Apollo 12 - Skylab 3) of When We Left Earth, but I may be wrong and I don't have it around to skim through, sorry.
