Who is the rightful inventor of the motion picture? It's been accepted that Thomas Edison or the Lumière Brothers can lay claim to that honor. But what if the story isn't so simple? In this episode we look at the life and the mysterious end of Louis Le Prince. A man who got on a train ready to unveil his world changing invention only to vanish without a trace. How does someone simply disappear from a non-stop express train? ***I called Le Prince 'Le Grand' a few times during this episode. I have no idea why. I'm blaming a lack of sleep. My apologies. ~Katie***
