The Inventor
Written by Ravé Mehta, The Inventor is a true story based on the life and times of Nikola Tesla - a Serbian immigrant who arrived in the United States with four cents in his pocket and went on to change the world dramatically and forever. He stood against the Goliaths of Industry and triumphed over corporate greed and power to create a better future for all of humanity. During a time when scientists were thought of as wizards and corporations as fiefdoms, this visionary single-handedly ushered in a whole new era in energy and wireless communications, transforming the US into a heavily industrialized nation. His inventions spawned the creation of numerous billion-dollar corporations. Today, they are known as GE, Westinghouse, Marconi, and others that create the backbone of today's energy, telecom, and military-industrial complexes. His inventions were so progressive that he even changed the tide of WWII with his “radar” that gave the US and its Allied Forces a desperately needed advantage to counter Hitler's U-boats. Interlaced throughout this tale of power, fame and fortune is a forbidden love between Tesla and Katherine Johnson, the wife of his best friend. Her passionate love for him was only revealed through secret love letters retrieved after their deaths. Despite Tesla’s genius, passion and global impact, ultimately it was others who made great fortunes based on his inventions. He passed away quietly penniless, alone and virtually forgotten...until now.
