Albert Einstein — Still a Revolutionary!

11 AM LOS ANGELES • 2 PM NEW YORK

Albert Einstein, the most famous scientist of all time, was also the most famous refugee from Nazi-occupied Europe.  An anti-war firebrand, Einstein also spoke out on issues ranging from women’s rights and racism to immigration and nuclear arms control. Using a wealth of rarely-seen archival footage, correspondence, and new and illuminating interviews, filmmaker Julia Newman makes the case that Einstein’s example of social and political activism is as important today as are his brilliant, ground-breaking theories.
