"Part of the 'American Experience' documentary series, this film tells the story of the great genius and inventor Nikola Tesla, who, among various creations, was responsible for the invention of alternating current (AC). However, in his time, Tesla ended up eclipsed by names such as Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi. The documentary not only is part of the recent focus on Tesla, but also addresses the problems he faced during life, including psychiatric ones. An educational and reflective production."
