Last night saw the UK premiere of The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

He plays Alan Turing who broke the German’s Enigma Code during World War 2, but was prosecuted for being homosexual in the 1950’s.

While his loud fans tried to grab his attention, Benedict quickly told us why it’s so important that Turing’s story gets told.
