Idea Wars: The Birth of Printing

52MIN

Gutenberg is responsible for the most significant invention of the medieval period: movable type printing. This ambitious docudrama shows the struggle of an inventor who challenged the society of his time. With the help of historians and documents of the time, such as judiciary archives, notarized acts, and first printings, this film retraces the most significant moments of Gutenberg’s life.
