and the risks involved bringing film back through the Van Allen radiation belt.
Also, I think they realised if anything happened to the mission on the return journey then mankind would have no decent record of its achievements for posterity.

On the egress and redock of the LM.
Way different than all the orbital practice and whatnot.
Also we need to know exactly how the LM lifted off, got up enough speed to over take the CM and dock.

Don't get me wrong but can you see why there are always doubts.
Not that anything you could see would prove much.
Even if there was something like a person down there waveing back up. It could be a robot. They have had 40 years to accomplish a simple task like that.

Those fabulous images we see of astronauts on the moon are very likely to be staged and professionally shot
