To historians, physicist Lose Neither deserves to be placed on a par with Einstein, Heisenberg, and Otto Hahn. In the 1930s, on the verge of World War II, she led a small group of scientists who discovered that splitting the atomic nucleus of uranium releases enormous energy. This extraordinary film tells the story of a woman who was far ahead of her time as a scientist and a pioneer of feminism.
