Even though Alan Turing laid the foundation for the computer age and helped turn the tide of World War II, he wasn't treated like a hero. Instead, he faced terrible persecution because he was gay.  Turing is one of the 20th century's most important people, yet few people have heard his name, know his story, or understand his legacy. That's what sparked my interest to produce a film about Alan Turing.  «Codebreaker» is a feature length drama-documentary about Turing's life and legacy. 
 Alan Turing is the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.  He also cracked the German naval Enigma code during World War II, helping to turn the tide of war and save millions of lives.  Instead of accolades, Turing faced terrible persecution from the British government because he was gay.  Unfortunately, he committed suicide in 1954 at the age of only 41.
