This programme tells the story of Henry Ford who, in 1911, built Highland Park, Detroit - the largest factory in the world. The man who introduced the production line and who set out with the humanitarian ideal of producing cheap cars for the people and ended up defying his own striking workers. Ford seemed to embody the American dream but bequeathed to the world, in many people's opinion, a nightmare legacy. A NOVA WGBHFilm production.
