How The Imitation Game Got Alan Turing Wrong...

The Imitation Game introduced millions to Alan Turing, but it also reshaped his life into a simplified Hollywood story. This video looks at the real Alan Turing behind the film, exploring what the movie gets right, what it gets wrong, and why the true history is far more complex.

We examine Turing’s early life, his real role at Bletchley Park, how Enigma was actually broken through teamwork rather than lone genius, and the contributions the film leaves out. The video also covers Turing’s postwar work in computing and artificial intelligence, and the tragic way he was treated by the British state.
