It’s his wedding night. And in a blissful, celebratory moment, Robert Kearns pops a champagne cork—right into his left eye, leaving him partially blind.
Fast-forward ten years. Driving home in a rainstorm, the sight-impaired automotive engineer and part-time inventor squints through his car’s rapidly oscillating windshield wiper. Even with one bad eye, Kearns clearly sees an historic opportunity -- yet one that will lead him from the highs of fame, fortune and cinematic glory to the lows of legal battles, mental anguish, poverty and an early death. Listen and learn all about it.
