La dirección opuesta

Creating an artificial sun is not easy - it is necessary to create a universe capable of containing it, of controlling its energy and producing more energy than it consumes. The current ITER, JET, EAST nuclear fusion projects have to face those challenges. In 1951, on an island in Patagonia, Austrian physicist Ronald Richter decided to obtain that inexhaustible energy source. It was the first controlled nuclear fusion experiment in history. When Richter announced the success to the international press, he was labeled a scammer and the project was canceled. But now there are more than ruins - unpublished secret files and letters, unknown recordings. Public opinion destroyed Richter, but was the truth behind the headlines? Exploring the secret project through documents is the key to answering the questions. (Mar del Plata International Film Festival)
