The shocking truth about.

This is an excellent documentary on Nikola Tesla. It runs pretty much chronologically without a lot of back and forth in time and annoying sound bites. Some of the documentaries are the first person with Stacy Keach as the voice of Nikola Tesla. Elisabeth Noone is the narrator. We learn how his life is intermixed with Mark Twain, William K. Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, Westinghouse, Thomas Edison, and Guglielmo Marconi. The actual technical side is held down as it is a Nikola Tesla biography, not a technical how-to. On the note, you can tell that this documentary is a tad dated, as they have a fascination with the Strategic Defense Initiative. In any event, it is good to know more about Tesla and his part in history.
