This movie trys to document the life and contributions of Ada Lovelace. Like all documentaries, this can be slow, but there are some serious historical points that should be considered. Among them:

• who the heck did what in terms of Babbage's machines. Did Ada really understand the idea of a general purpose computer...
• If Ada is the first programmer, then why have so few woman continued in the programming field.
• Can we believe history...do we find what we would like to fine.
