Work is under way to produce a new documentary about the genius that was Alan Turing and it’s officially on my “must see” list. We owe this guy so much yet you never hear much about him.
Turing’s story is one of incredible soaring achievement amidst a heartbreakingly-tortured life. It’s maddening that homophobes can care so much about what goes on in other people’s bedrooms. Damn perverts. :-/
Little bit about Turing:
“Alan Turing was a flamboyant Technicolor genius yet instead of accolades and respect, he faced prosecution by the British government because he was gay. In 1954, Turing committed suicide at age 41 after being forced to undergo hormone therapy to “fix†his sexual orientation. He left behind a lasting legacy and lingering questions about what else he might have accomplished if society had embraced his unique genius instead of rejecting it.”
Below is the official teaser trailer. Visit the film’s page to learn more about it and Alan Turing. Oh, and if you feel so inclined, send them a fully tax-deductible donation.
