Trailer for Newman.
What if there were an engine that would eliminate the need for oil, coal, and nuclear power? Did an inventor from the backwoods of Lucedale, Mississippi, create a revolutionary electromagnetic motor that would change the world? Or was it all a hoax pulled off by a mad genius? Joseph Newman might be the answer to the question: What happens when you combine Nikola Tesla with Jack LaLanne? With the support of Johnny Carson, Dan Rather, and 11 congressmen, Newman was on his way to becoming one of the most important inventors of the modern age, but he hit a snag with the U.S. Patent Office that threatened to derail his project. Newman is a fascinating story about a brilliant man tormented by demons but unrelenting in the belief that his invention would save the planet. Audiences will be discussing the end of the film for years to come. Newman
