Lise Meitner: The Mother of the Atom Bomb

Directed by Wolf von Truchsess, Andreas G. Wagner

Written by Wolf von Truchsess, Andreas G. Wagner

To historians, physicist Lise Meitner deserves to be placed on a par with Einstein, Heisenberg and Otto Hahn. In the 1930s on the verge of World War II, she led a small group of scientists who discovered that splitting the atomic nucleus of uranium releases enormous energy. This extraordinary film tells the story of a woman who was far ahead of her time as a scientist and a pioneer of feminism.
