As a reminder - HBO's From the Earth to the Moon covered Gemini and Apollo brilliantly.
I will say that From the Earth to the Moon covered Apollo well. It did touch on Freedom 7 as well as the Gemini IV and Gemini VIII missions, but beyond that it didn't really go into a lot of the drama surrounding the earlier space missions before Apollo.

There is some room for more exposition on Gemini - problem is - Gemini is like the middle movie of a trilogy - it doesn't stand on its own, particularly Gemini doesn't. Mercury was the initial US manned program (Can we do it?). Apollo was 100% Moon oriented (Can we get there? What will we find?).
Gemini was the engineering bridge from putting men in space to putting men on the Moon. It has no legs except as the transition from single person, "Spam in a can" Mercury missions to the complex, long duration Apollo lunar missions.
