Copies of the documentary do turn up online, but none found on 2026-09-30 sits on a channel run by a company that holds the rights to it, which is the test every film in this catalogue has to pass. It is a recent work, so it is not in the public domain either. Until a rights holder publishes it free, it gets this record and no watch link.
Who Tesla was
Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in what is now Croatia and moved to the United States in 1884. His induction motor and his designs for alternating current, licensed to George Westinghouse, won out over Edison’s direct current and became the basis of electrical power distribution. He spent his later years on radio and wireless power, ran short of money, and died in New York in 1943.
His reputation grew long after his death, and documentaries such as this one are a large part of why. Should its owner ever release Master of Lightning free, it goes on the English catalogue page with a player and the date of that check.
