Dora: The Dark Side of Genius Dora: The Dark Side of Genius is an
independently produced 90-minute documentary film that examines the
hidden origins of man's journey into space.
In the fall of 1998, the producers of Dora: The Dark Side of Genius were
granted unprecedented access to the depths of a horrific underground World
War II German rocket factory. A factory with a terrifying secret: it is the
birthplace of technology that ultimately allowed the United States to win the
race to the moon.
For five treacherous days, the producers of Dora: The Dark Side of Genius
explored the depths of this underground complex.
AN IMPORTANT HUMAN RECORD
Dora: The Dark Side of Genius Dora: The Dark Side of Genius is an
independently produced 90-minute documentary film that examines the
hidden origins of man's journey into space.
In the fall of 1998, the producers of Dora: The Dark Side of Genius were
granted unprecedented access to the depths of a horrific underground World
War II German rocket factory. A factory with a terrifying secret: it is the
birthplace of technology that ultimately allowed the United States to win the
race to the moon.
For five treacherous days, the producers of Dora: The Dark Side of Genius
explored the depths of this underground complex.
The resultant film material, shot in HDTV-ready Super 16mm film format, is a
remarkable visual record of nearly twenty kilometers of forgotten underground
galleries and tunnels. A subterranean world populated to this day by the
ghosts and artifacts of Germany's rocket program.
In early 1999, these chambers were permanently sealed. Future generations
will never be allowed again to experience the underground hell of this
factory. However, our film, Dora: The Dark Side of Genius, reveals the secret
that these tunnels hold and brings justice to the forgotten crimes that were
committed within them.
It is a film that reveals the untold story of this underground rocket factory
known as Workcamp DORA and examines the hidden origins of man's
journey into space.
The summer of 1999 marked the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on
the moon. Television reports produced around the world to commemorate
that defining moment simply did not tell the whole story of how we got there --
they failed to provide the proper historical context of this event.
The extent to which the triumph of July 20, 1969 sprang from events in
wartime Nazi Germany fifty years earlier remained untold. The human
dimensions of that dawning are unknown to but a few.
Yet, the untold story of Workcamp Dora is one of remarkable technical
achievement...
...and unimagined cruelty.
