Remembering Alan Turing

Tuesday June 7th marks the 57th anniversary of Alan Turing’s death. During research for this film, it has been an honor for the production team to talk with people who knew and worked with Turing. Their memories and fond recollections remind us that he wasn’t just a great scientist and an amazing thinker – he was a real person whose death left a scar on all those knew and loved him. Decades later, it’s important to honor Turing’s legacy. And on this day, maybe more than others, we wonder what else he might have accomplished if his life hadn’t ended so soon.

   Exactly, a lot of people are not even aware of a man named ‘Alan Turing’. I think that it is time that we help spread the significant contributions of Alan Turing to humanity. People know about Einstein and Newton but not about Turing. Not a lot of effort has been done to make the general people aware about Turing’s work and its valuable implications in today’s world. I appreciate the effort made for the documentary. Thank you for your hard-work.
