Ada and The Engine
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Miller Liberatore
A visionary journey of love, ambition, and the boundless power of the mind. Poetry meets mathematics, the past meets the future, and one woman’s brilliance changes history forever.
Brilliant, bold, and ahead of her time, Ada Lovelace is the daughter of the infamous poet Lord Byron—but she is a poet of numbers. In a world that seeks to confine her, Ada dreams of an engine that could think, unlocking the dawn of the modern computer. Fueled by her intellectual passion and a deep connection with the renowned inventor Charles Babbage, Ada’s journey is one of heart, spirit, and mind—a battle between logic and longing, societal expectation and personal ambition.
With lyrical storytelling and striking wit, Ada and the Engine explores intellectual passion versus societal expectation, showing the tension between personal brilliance and the roles imposed on women.
