Hollywood Babel: Ep. 3 - The Lumiere Brothers

Meet the Lumieres, the first inventors to bring motion pictures to the screen. While Thomas Edison had a film factory, the Lumieres were more of a cine-family, with the freres, their father and friends. The Lumieres introduced the world to movies but  were unable to change with the times and were soon eclipsed by more aggressive prodcos. Their story ends in 1902, but for a time, les frères Lumieres had the world on a string. This is their story. For more info, follow us on Twitter @hollywoodbabel.
