CODEBREAKER

The new drama documentary film CODEBREAKER tells the remarkable and tragic story of one of the 20th century’s most important people – Alan Turing. He set in motion the computer age and his World War II codebreaking helped turn the tide of the Second World War.  Executive Producer Patrick Sammon screened the film at CRA’s July conference in Snowbird, Utah to great interest and acclaim, and we are sure that others will enjoy it as well. Watch the trailer.

Instead of receiving accolades, Turing faced terrible persecution. In 1952, the British Government forced him to undergo chemical castration as punishment for his homosexuality.  In despair, Turing committed suicide at only 41 years old.

Documentary elements seamlessly interconnect with drama scenes in CODEBREAKER to offer a three dimensional picture of Turing, his accomplishments, his tragic end, and his lasting legacy.

It premiered in Washington, DC on October 17, New York City on October 25, San Francisco on November 1, and Detroit on November 7.
