Einstein on the History international channel, made in 2008 I guess. Quite enjoyable. I paused it at the halfway mark to post this. They are covering his emergence as a pacifist during WWI at this point.

Arrived in the US.

2. They are talking about the solar eclipse proof

They have various astronomers on talking about how precise the theory predicted the bending of light and that it was a difficult measurement to make on the photographs.
