Turing was treated TERRIBLY by the British government which at the time thought gay people were security risks. There was no understanding of homosexuality as a birth trait: straight ppl are born straight, LGBT ppl are born that way too, as proven in famous research studies of the incidence of gayness in twins. If your mere sibling is gay you have a 10% chance of being born gay. If your fraternal twin is born gay you have around a 26% chance of also being born gay. If your identical twin is born gay, you have a whopping 52% chance of being born gay as well. Straight ppl do not choose to be straight. They just are born that way. LGBT ppl do not choose to be gay. They are born that way. Imagine how Turing must have felt with his body changing due to female hormones. It must have been excruciating mentally and spiritually and he must have felt as if the whole world were against him. So he chose suicide at age 43, bless his heart. Imagine the many inventions he would have created if he had lived 30 more years. HE won WW2 and his body was destroyed physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope the authorities who judged him wrongly have spent some time in purgatory making up for their cruel decision. This was an excellent documentary.
It is beyond belief that every generation is unable to recognize the genius among them and then proceeds to inflict harm on them destroying the very means of their survival missing out on the flourishing of their ideas and enhancing the renaissance of thought hidden in plain sight. It is mysteriously strange that as much as we have people of genius living among people of a high level of ignorance - that are blind to the effects each have on each other…and also mistake our own ignorance that lies in the background forgetting that we have genius working within us as well as ignorance. Alan Turing deserved so much better and Robert Oppenheimer as well. This should give us a collective pause as to what people or progressive ideas that are happening right now that we are undermining at this very moment. One thing that comes to mind is the silly dichotomy of the right and the left, or the conservative and the radical, or the republican and the democrat…all styles and forms of thought have at their base a healthy spark of reason. It is unnecessary to be at war against liberalism or conservatism and once the light of wisdom takes hold among political movements then we can learn and appreciate yin and yang ie; the law of opposites….embracing paradox and engagement with the dance of life🦋
I am at minute 19 of this doc. I will be very upset if no mention is made of the contribution Polish code breakers made to the British effort by handing over their own decryption machines
Yes, most documentaries do not assign due credit to those who assisted and/or made it possible for the success of others. Unfortunately this is the way of things. As a amateur history buff I know the role of the polish was crucial and ingnored. But just know that there are some people out there that know the truth 😉👊🏻
@@williammcfarlane7889the same can be said about certain museums. I visited Bletchley Park recently to educate my grandson in it's role during WW II, and very little credit has been given to the Poles in their invaluable contribution to the UKs war effort.
“They would change the course of the war and begin the final assault against the Nazis.” No, that all began at Stalingrad and on the Eastern Front. As for Alan Turing, yes he played an important role at Bletchley Park but there were others working at the same place. Don’t undermine their contribution by exaggerating the role of one person.
Hats off to Arthur Scherbius, the man who invented the Enigma machine. Now that’s one smart dude.

That was very interesting, although I don't think i've ever been on a Summerine!
Better a summerine than a winterine
Women, the only thing Turing couldn't figure out.
Has any man ?

Alan Turing is 100% proof there was and has never been a God. Thank you Sir. RIP.
He broke the code say no more
Totally agree
"Say no more" would have been good advice for those German communication guys.
A great guy . Unfortunately he was gay .the stupid law killed him. For what he did. Wow. What a waste
