The remarkable life of businessman royalty Henry Ford unveiled for the first time with highest historical accuracy through this archive-driven documentary. A self-made man who revolutionized industry production with wild and controversial ambitions and changed the face of America in the 20th century.
Inventor in 1908 of the famous Ford T, that was sold over fifteen million times in less than twenty years, Henry Ford introduced revolutionary production, management and administration methods: standardization, assembly line work, high salaries... "Fordism", a global system based on mass consumption, is the most decisive episode in the history of American industry, and shaped the capitalism of the 20th century. But Henry Ford was more than just a charismatic businessman who revolutionized the car industry and factory environment. He was also an anti Semitic megalomaniac who put his weight behind delusional commercial projects and became one of Adolf Hitler's greatest inspirations. He was a billionaire with great influence comparable to Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates in the 21st century.
