Grief and outrage meet in a secret twelve-minute film born from twenty-five thousand drawings - a newspaper cartoonist turned clandestine filmmaker tried to give the Lusitania a witness when the world had no photograph. How did Winsor McCay spend twenty-two months and risk his career to show an event that modern audiences had never seen?
In this episode, we tell how a single artist within a media empire produced a twelve-minute animated film about the Lusitania, the production details behind it, and the costs that followed - why did McCay make the film in secret and what happened when the secret finally surfaced?
