In 1888, before Edison and the Lumière brothers, a Frenchman called Louis Le Prince shot the first motion picture in Leeds. Two years later, he boarded a train in France and was never seen again. Drawing on archives in Leeds, Paris and New York, this investigation explores his extraordinary career, solves the mystery of his disappearance, and follows his widow’s legal battle with Edison.
