"Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story"

This documentary is older than I thought, but quite powerful.  I was drawn to it after being reminded, again, that this was a woman who was known for her movie star status, but sadly forgotten for her brilliant inventions.  It's well-done.  The interviews, clips, structure are all solid.  For a documentary it hits the right notes with information but doesn't bore.  The pacing is good, the viewpoint is as unbiased as is possible.  It's good.  Really shines a light on one of many women whose impactful life has been lost to the shadows of memory.  This production shines a light into the dark and reminds us of the importance of the foundation which came before.
