Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell is renowned for his invention of the telephone. This video shows how his mind took him to the frontiers of other fields as well. He paved the way for the development of the X-ray machine, and his visions were used by the pioneers of aviation. But it is his dedication to his mother, who suffered from deafness, that is the focal point of this story. To help her hear, he helped the whole world. Using re-enactments, personal accounts, and archival photographs, the program traces Bell´s story from his early days in Scotland to fame and fortune in America.
