    Description: In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing to crack Nazi Germany's Enigma code -- which cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan Clarke, analyze Enigma messages while he builds a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed, becoming heroes for greatly contributing to the Allied victory over the Axis powers in WW-II.  But in 1952, Turing was prosecuted by the British government and sent to prison for engaging in homosexual acts.  Following a campaign in 2009, British prime minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology for "the appalling way [Turing] was treated," and in 2013 Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon.  This film is being shown as part of KSU's Year of the United Kingdom.
