About the Movie
The Path to Nuclear Fission is about a brilliant Jewish woman, Lise Meitner, whose inventions led to the atomic bomb—to her own horror. In 1907, Meitner came to Berlin as a shy student from Vienna, where she met the worldly Otto Hahn. They made history when they discovered nuclear fission. Hahn helped Meitner to flee the Nazis to Sweden, but he didn’t credit her contribution when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945. This film IS narrated by Linda Hunt, an Academy Award-winning actress best known from The Practice. It tells Meitner’s story for the first time.

About the Movie
The Red Orchestra is a documentary about a Berlin-based resistance group that fought against the Third Reich inside Germany. The Gestapo labeled The Red Orchestra Communists and traitors for their efforts to fight Hitler, and so did the Allied Secret Services. But they held a variety of political and religious beliefs. Only recently have historians recognized them as one of the largest and most important resistance groups. This documentary, made by Stefan Roloff, the son of Helmut Roloff, one of the survivors, tells their story for the first time to an American audience, using a pioneering animation technique and powerful original footage
