Newman

Orphan. Entrepreneur. Recluse. Genius. Megalomaniac. Inventor Joseph Newman is all of the above. A controversial figure in the scientific community, Newman rose to notoriety with "The Newman Device," an electromagnetic machine that he claimed produced more energy than it took to power it. What should have been a revolutionary discovery was stopped by a lengthy and disheartening legal battle with the United States Patent Office. In his enthralling directorial debut, filmmaker Jon Fox deftly seeks to understand the enigmatic inventor - through intimate discussions with Newman's colleagues and, surprisingly, with the man himself.

Legendary American asocial backwoods inventor Joseph Newman develops a brilliant discovery that ends the need for oil gas and nuclear dependency as we know it, but spends most of his life fighting conspiracies and Washington DC for a patent.
