Flash of genius

The Social Network
The essential social network of the 2000s, which would later become a multi-billion-dollar company, has to right to its biopic. Well, Mark Zuckerberg rather, its creator. This film retraces the creation of the social network and then the legal battles that ensued between those who claimed the idea was theirs and those who were ousted from the project along the way.
The Founder

Padman
In this Bollywood film, we follow the story of Lakshmikant Chauha, inventor of low-cost periodic protection in India. This film is inspired by Arunachalam Muruganantham who invented a machine for the production of periodic protection.
