Albert Einstein, the most famous scientist of all time, was a world renowned celebrity, greeted like a rock star when he appeared in public. An anti-war firebrand, Einstein also spoke out on issues ranging from women's rights and racism to immigration and nuclear arms control. But today, his image has been neutered into that of a charmingly absent-minded genius. He was, in fact, a powerful force for social change and a model for political activism. Using a wealth of rarely-seen archival footage, correspondence, and new and illuminating interviews, Julia Newman's documentary Albert Einstein: Still a Revolutionary makes the case that Einstein's example of social and political activism is as important today as are his brilliant, ground-breaking theories.

Audience Member Highly interesting documentary with lots of original film material and photographs. Sadly, a speaker rejects being autistic for Albert Einstein in a side note as 'absolutely not the case', with the incorrect prejudice based argument that Einstein was highly social when he wanted to. Whether Einstein had autistic traits or not, what shall one still say when this false stereotype that autistic people can't possibly be social is the argument used? A shame our media in the 21st century can still harbour a poorly understood idea of what being autistic means and perpetuate this incorrect bad image of us autistic people as being unsocial. Being social is a human need, whether one is autistic or not. It is time that people become as educated about and critical regarding prejudice towards neurominorities as our democratic societies strive to be regarding all minorities.
