Meet the Lumieres, the first inventors to bring motion pictures to the screen. While Thomas Edison had a film factory, the Lumieres were more of a cine-family, with the freres, their father and friends.

Their story ends in 1902, but for a time, les frères Lumieres had the world on a string. This is their story. For more info, follow us on Twitter @hollywoodbabel.
