The Bit Player plot

"Who would think of a flaming trumpet?"

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations for the information age by introducing the term 'bit'. His ideas still have an influence on communication, genetics, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Using archive footage, interviews and animations, this documentary tells the story of a forgotten genius who changed the world.
