Adventures of a Mathematician — United States
Polish-Jewish mathematician Stanislaw Ulam joins the Los Alamos project — the 2020 film traces his intellectual and moral journey as a refugee who helped build the bomb that ended the war.
Stanislaw Ulam (1909-1984) fled Poland in 1939 and joined Los Alamos in 1943. He made crucial contributions to the hydrogen bomb's design after the war. At Los Alamos he worked alongside Fermi, Teller and von Neumann. The Polish-British co-production follows Ulam's perspective as a European refugee using the weapons of science to fight the Nazis who destroyed his world.
