The untold story of the lost inventor of moving pictures . Augustin Le Prince boarded a train on September 1890, in Dijon, France, for Paris. He had struggled for three years to perfect a motion picture camera and projector. He never reached Paris and was never seen again. It is a story of individual hope and betrayal which spans a century and two continents from the streets of nineteenth Century Leeds England to the deserted beaches of Fire Island in the 1920's to London, Paris, New York, in the 1890's and an attic in Memphis, Tennessee in 1988.
