Thomas Edison — Genie oder Dieb? Die wahre Geschichte des Erfinders

Thomas Edison — The Man Who Brought Light to the World In this comprehensive biographical documentary, we trace the life of a man who, like few others, shaped the modern world. Thomas Alva Edison, born in 1847 in a small town in Ohio, grew up as a hard-of-hearing boy, homeschooled by his mother and conducting his first experiments in the basement of the family home. His path led him from newspaper vendor on the railroad to telegraph operator, from penniless inventor to the founder of an entire industry. We accompany Edison through all the stages of his life: his apprenticeship as a telegraph operator, the founding of his legendary invention factory in Menlo Park, the invention of the phonograph, and the dramatic search for the perfect filament for the electric lamp. We witness the triumph of Manhattan's electrification, the bitter War of the Currents against Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, the failure of his mining plans, and the beginnings of cinema. We examine the visionary inventor as well as the ruthless businessman, the absent father, and the stubborn man who, well into old age, refused to accept the course of progress when it diverged from his own. This documentary, based on historical sources, offers a comprehensive look at the life and work of one of the most significant figures in the history of technology.
