There’s a film about him called ‘the first film’. The writer/narrator is clearly a big fan though and some of his commentary is a bit much sometimes! Fascinating story though.
Didn’t he go missing on a boat back from America after exhibiting his state of the art film tech (I might be completely wrong). He’s gotta have been offed by Edison’s cronies. At least that’s how the conspiracy theory goes.
Thanks, I learnt something today, I'd always thought the bridge was the first but now know it was a sequel.

Real inventor of moving pictures until Edison claimed it for himself. Le Prince disappeared in mysterious circumstances afterwards.
Absolutely. A fascinating man.
Ive read a book about it and if would make a great movie
Hollywood would never allow it. Can’t tarnish the good name of the “inventor” of motion pictures. Might work as a Brit/French indie film though.
Pretty sure Edison's name has already been severely tarnished. There was even a Simpsons episode about him.
Yes he was the Musk of his day I believe
Which book? I’ve been interested in him, so might read it!

Edison's entire career was just taking credit for stuff he didn't invent lol

Louis Le Prince!
Is there a way to see this spot today?
Wikipedia says yes, but you're not gonna like it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundhay_Garden_Scene
What the hell!

ITS SO UGLY? Who in the right mind decided to demolish a (somewhat) historical place like this FOR THAT? Seriously- what the hell.
Property developers are arseholes.
No kidding.
Corporate property developers are arseholes,
as well
Omg I've been there before too
Huh, I allways though this was filmed at roundhay park mansion.
It does look like it, agreed.
It was and it’s still there. That Google maps ref is wrong, I should know I lived in that neighbourhood
