The First Film

In 1888, Louis Le Prince produced the world's first films in Leeds, England, using patented cameras. He perfected his projection machine and planned to demonstrate it to the public, but mysteriously disappeared on a train to Paris in 1890, leaving no body and no proof to claim his invention. Despite his pioneering work, Le Prince's name was forgotten until a lone voice worked to revive his legacy, and now a documentary aims to prove his role in creating the world's first moving image film.
