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.

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

Stefan Roloff, the Berlin-born artist and filmmaker has worked in Brooklyn, New York since 1982. He has directed this movie, his second documentary, and produced it with Daniel Elias and David Houts. The Red Orchestra is also a profile of his late father, Helmut Roloff, a resistance fighter against the Nazis in Berlin, where his family still lives. Roloff is also known for his digital art installations.
