In the 1940s, Hedy Lamar was a bright star in Hollywood. But she was also a technology enthusiast who developed encoded broadcasting that is still in use today. Director Alexandra Dean weaves rare recordings, archival footage, and multiple interviews into a portrait of a fascinating woman who did not receive the recognition she deserved.
