Few people influenced the first half of the twentieth century more than they did, but who influenced them?
Who turned them around at critical times in their lives such that they changed the world irreversibly during and beyond their lifetimes? Explore the minds, accomplishments, philosophies, hearts and human struggles of these incredibly smart and mentally-defective souls in ways that have never been told.

GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE – Physicists ALBERT & MILEVA EINSTEIN
Was it just Einstein's genius who came up with the Theory of Relativity? Or was it someone else? The real story behind the making of Albert Einstein.

LET THERE BY LIGHT – Inventor NIKOLA TESLA
Tesla v's Edison - what did Tesla know and why did 'All American hero' Thomas Edison, try to destroy this amazing and prolific inventor?

STALIN'S PSYCHIATRIST – Dictator JOSEPH STALIN
Experience the true face of the feared Soviet leader in the face of Hitler's surprise attack on Russia. Did Stalin's psychiatrist save him during his darkest days of WWII?

In 1905, the young and unknown Albert Einstein, a third class clerk in a Swiss Patent office, made his most revolutionary of scientific discoveries. He underwent an intense intellectual and spiritual transformation as he worried about his real place in the world, as he obsessed with trying to figure out how the Universe really worked, Einstein struggled night and day to produce the four papers that revolutionized Modern Physics, including the Theory of Relativity. But who was really behind the Einstein genius and who transformed the then arrogant and tunnel-visioned young man into one of the most expansive thinking and humanitarian spirits known to Civilization?

Some say it was his first wife and scientific collaborator, Mileva, despite their rocky marriage, who was the real brains behind Albert's work as well as the impetus that turned him into the pillar of human wisdom and social enlightenment he was to become. Perhaps it was the self-taught janitor who visited the couple after hours. The janitor entered their lives at a crucial time. What kinds of conversations would the socially-distant twenty-something Einstein have had with a gregarious, semi-literate, yet very common sense janitor who talked about life, science and relationships with the 'respectful rebel' scientist and his wife? He made them face themselves and appeared to influence whether they stayed together, or destroyed themselves and each other.

Albert Einstein (1879 –1955) was a German-Swiss-Austrian-American theoretical physicist who made great advances in science. He is one of the most well known scientists of the twentieth century. He is most famous for his theory of relativity, development work with quantum mechanics, cosmology and statistical mechanics. His achievements include the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

Let there be Light explores inventor, visionary and eccentric Nikola Tesla. The story finds Tesla at a crucial turning point after he had been banished from mainstream science into a life of obscurity and poverty. As one of the most eccentric, misunderstood and humanistic physicists of the 19th and early 20th Century, he was a prolific inventor but got credit for virtually none of his world changing technological ideas as his competitors and the world ignored, ridiculed and did whatever they could to discredit, humiliate and steal from him. This program reveals his scientific accomplishments, struggles, flaws, humanity and humor.

New York City – 1930's. Nicola Tesla, inventor of most everything electrical, has been discredited by mainstream science and stolen from by his competitors, led by 'All American hero' Thomas Edison. With no one to listen to, understand, or fund his new ideas, his creative mind stops, redirecting its intensity into an agonizing depression that can be only result in suicide. The act is delayed by a visitor, Virginia Millhouse who claims to be a female journalist, but who is actually pursuing a different agenda. In the ensuing hours of their meeting he shares some of his most innovative discoveries and innermost secrets. Virginia becomes inspired by their discussion and decides to follow her own dreams. Tesla's moves out of suicidal depression by the thought that his new student and biographer will carry on his work and his mind and soul is inspired to continue inventing. Upon Virginia leaving, we find out that she was a spy, sent by Edison, to get the last of Tesla's ideas in exchange to get a position in his multimillion dollar laboratory. But she keeps Tesla's notes to herself after being inspired and changed forever by the most rugged (and perhaps deluded) individualist of 19th and early 20th Century Science.
To this day, Tesla's inventions remain years ahead of "modern" science. Many of his inventions are reportedly under lock and key by governments on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. Tesla's inventions include a car that runs without engines, wireless transmission of electricity on a world scale and a machine that can (and did) make the earth shake.

Nikola Tesla (1856–1943), was a Serbian-American physicist, inventor, mechanical and electrical engineer. He was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla was the inventor of the radio, the electric motor and generator and his theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems.

Russia – 1941. Joseph Stalin has taken Marx and Lenin's vision of a Soviet Worker's Paradise and turned it into a nightmare in which nothing happens unless he gives his personal approval, with horrible consequences for anyone who disobeys or takes any individual initiative. 'Uncle Joe' is confident that Hitler, with whom he has signed a non–aggression pact, will never attack the Soviet Union, but trusted 'friend' Adolf does. The already-struggling Russian people desperately need a leader to mobilize them to stop the Blitzkreig. "Comrade Stalin will know what to do," the generals who survived the Stalinist purges say, and believe. But the 'man of steel' has locked himself inside his private chambers, having a full scale nervous breakdown infused with terror, laced with dwindling self-esteem and generously seasoned with paranoia while being visited by vengeful ghosts from his past. Most prominently present is a Jewish American ex-patriot psychiatrist (Elena) who once admired and loved, Comrade Stalin, She takes it upon herself to whip him back into shape and, if possible, to infuse some humanity into him, while at the same time keeping her real identity and hidden agenda from being revealed. Sensuous and smart Doctor Elena must find a way to untangle Stalin's mind and penetrate his cold heart before it's too late to save Russia.

Joseph Stalin (1878 – 1953) was the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. Stalin launched a command economy - a period of rapid industrialization and economic collectivization. The upheaval in the agricultural sector disrupted food production, resulting in widespread famine, such as the catastrophic Soviet famine of 1932–1933. During the late 1930s, Stalin launched the Great Purge (also known as the "Great Terror"), a campaign to purge the Communist Party of people accused of sabotage, terrorism, or treachery. Stalin was one of the most brutal leaders in is responsible for the deaths of millions, yet millions more revere him as a true leader of the Soviet State in its time of need.
