"Westinghouse" is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George
Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality, partnership with Nikola Tesla and conflict
with Thomas Edison. George Westinghouse is considered America’s greatest industrialist and
the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison, and win.

Westinghouse was the 29th President of ASME (1910-1911) and a mechanical engineer with
more than 400 patents, including the air brake (1869), which is considered one of the most
important inventions in history.

His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of
electric power. Automobile shock absorbers, railroad signaling and the modern day weekend all
owe their existence to the man who Andrew Carnegie called “A genius who can’t be downed.”

Westinghouse may be most famous for the massive companies that he created, but the man
called “Uncle George” was a reserved, creative giant who went out of his way to treat his
workforce with dignity and respect. He was an honest millionaire in the days of robber barons,
an optimist in the days of skeptics and a generous CEO from whom today's executives can
learn.
