History is riddled with myths, and even our most celebrated inventions are shrouded in half-truths. This documentary explores the surprising backstories of iconic innovations and the fascinating figures behind them, from Al Gore’s controversial link to the internet to Thomas Edison’s groundbreaking work at Menlo Park.
We challenge common misconceptions, like the true origins of the German Autobahn under Hitler’s Nazi regime and the forgotten woman who actually invented the game Monopoly. Discover how marketing, propaganda, and even outright theft have shaped the narratives we accept as historical fact.
Prepare to see familiar names like Edison and Gore in a new light, and to learn about the unsung heroes and ingenious minds often erased from the history books. The inventions they brought to life continue to shape our world in profound ways, making their stories all the more important to tell accurately.
