Imitation Game

Innovators rarely get the credit they deserve. Innovators that fall under the female-minority-gay heading, well...their legacy becomes a footnote. Alan Turing's story is even more complicated because of his affiliation with MI6. Like the CIA, they can keep a secret--especially one they're ashamed of. Turing designed the first computer and used it to decode Nazi messages for the British. Cheers! But, he was gay...in the 1940s. Bollocks. He ends up being persecuted (grotesquely) by the government he helped to save. Like Japanese internment camps, it's not something countries want to remember, even 70 years later.
