This is the unknown story of Polish computer scientist Jacek Karpinski, who in the late 1960s and early 1970s constructed one of the world's first "PCs" - the most popular computers today. Unfortunately, Karpinski's achievement went in vain. The party banned him from production. The computer scientist who refused to comply was led out of the plant under rifles, and then took up breeding ... pigs in Masuria. Would Poland have been a computer superpower if his fate had turned out differently?
