Very well done. Thank you for paying homage to Alan.

What this man achieved, knocked a minimum of two years off the length of the war and saved at least 14 million lives. What was done to him was a disgrace and remains a blight on Englands history I simply do not know why the powers that be, didnt intervene and get rid of the criminal charge pre trial. We are told the story of Enigma was kept from the public for 50 years, for National Security purposes. I suspect, or at least hope, it was as much to do with the shame of having treated a National hero like a low life criminal... it was Our late wonderful Queen who, shortly after the release of the Blethcly Park papers, who gave him a posthumous pardon . Who else. God bless her Turinig was betrayed by his Country but is at least finally recognised for his extraordianry brain and contribution to the sciences of math and possibilities.. Oh and kinda single handedly winning a world war

It is beyond belief that every generation is unable to recognize the genius among them and then proceeds to inflict harm on them destroying the very means of their survival missing out on the flourishing of their ideas and enhancing the renaissance of thought hidden in plain sight. It is mysteriously strange that as much as we have people of genius living among people of a high level of ignorance - that are blind to the effects each have on each other…and also mistake our own ignorance that lies in the background forgetting that we have genius working within us as well as ignorance. Alan Turing deserved so much better and Robert Oppenheimer as well. This should give us a collective pause as to what people or progressive ideas that are happening right now that we are undermining at this very moment. One thing that comes to mind is the silly dichotomy of the right and the left, or the conservative and the radical, or the republican and the democrat…all styles and forms of thought have at their base a healthy spark of reason. It is unnecessary to be at war against liberalism or conservatism and once the light of wisdom takes hold among political movements then we can learn and appreciate yin and yang ie; the law of opposites….embracing paradox and engagement with the dance of life🦋

Yes, most documentaries do not assign due credit to those who assisted and/or made it possible for the success of others. Unfortunately this is the way of things. As a amateur history buff I know the role of the polish was crucial and ingnored. But just know that there are some people out there that know the truth 😉👊🏻

Turing was treated TERRIBLY by the British government which at the time thought gay people were security risks. There was no understanding of homosexuality as a birth trait: straight ppl are born straight, LGBT ppl are born that way too, as proven in famous research studies of the incidence of gayness in twins. If your mere sibling is gay you have a 10% chance of being born gay. If your fraternal twin is born gay you have around a 26% chance of also being born gay. If your identical twin is born gay, you have a whopping 52% chance of being born gay as well. Straight ppl do not choose to be straight. They just are born that way. LGBT ppl do not choose to be gay. They are born that way. Imagine how Turing must have felt with his body changing due to female hormones. It must have been excruciating mentally and spiritually and he must have felt as if the whole world were against him. So he chose suicide at age 43, bless his heart. Imagine the many inventions he would have created if he had lived 30 more years. HE won WW2 and his body was destroyed physically, mentally and spiritually. I hope the authorities who judged him wrongly have spent some time in purgatory making up for their cruel decision. This was an excellent documentary.

Cqwt6103, Is it that you don't want there to be an uber- intelligence, one with ultimate power? Did you read The Mysterious Stranger, by Mark Twain? The Stranger owns a tiny village, filled wth many, many tiny people. Occasionally the Stranger destroys some of the people with his fist. MT's concept of the unjust God. From the evidence, we seem to be in an unjust universe...And yet, why do we feel, think, live in an atmosphere of "knowing " right and wrong?? Did you read C S Lewis' "Mere" book?

@@josealeman1331 What cqwt is trying to say that God let Turing down by his homosexuality etc. Many would say God gave him the brain to work every thing out but God doesn't teach you how to use that brain - that's your problem. Everyone would say there isn't a God who allows such terrible things to happen to him. Homosexuality was forbidden during his life time. Things don't always happen when and how they should. And some say you will be immortal when your name is spoken or thought of.. Turing was very close to a fellow school boy - the only person who believed and encouraged him to follow his star. The lad died and broke Turings heart. He never loved again but he did follow his dream and he is immortal. Not much in life is fair. ❤

@@Goddess-of-Beer That's actually a very astute observation, although, women can't understand what it's like to be a man, therefore, they are in no position to judge them. Actually, no one should, or can, judge ANYONE! Women are completely accepting of homosexuals for some reason. I think it's because they aren't grossed out by it because they do the same things in bed with men that homosexuals do with men (usually). Plus the effeminate way so many homosexuals act is very off-putting to most men. And women aren't put-off by that because they are effeminate because they ARE women! The closest that women can come to that is by watching other women act like men. But women like empowerment! They LOVE IT!! The writers in Hollywood and everywhere else STRIVE to gain women viewership in movies, television, and especially in advertising to show women in powerful positions, especially OVER MEN!! Successful writers go by the old adage "sex for the men, empowerment for the women." If you write with that as your guide, then you will succeed. But poor Alan Turing... he seemed like such a quiet, humble man. What happened to him was just wrong.😢

“They would change the course of the war and begin the final assault against the Nazis.” No, that all began at Stalingrad and on the Eastern Front. As for Alan Turing, yes he played an important role at Bletchley Park but there were others working at the same place. Don’t undermine their contribution by exaggerating the role of one person.
