I am in Victoria, and been a Ford bloke for over 40 years, proudly sucked the headlight out of anything Holden way back in the 80's at the Dandy drags, loved my first Ford, XB 351 in all black. I have been to the Geelong plant 20 years ago as they were a client of mine, was a real eye opener to see the in's and out's. Also people should read his book ''The International Jew'', as he was spot on about them. My first car was a V8 Ford, and now as an old bloke I still drive a Ford V8 and looking at a stang when I get my hands on my super fund in a year or so.
Interesting fact is that he didn't realize that the world evolved trough a mass consumption mechanism and that consumers minds evolved demanding different products, this is really a great way to study them in favor of your company, analizyng consumers needs is a great practice. This fact is a gift to us from this documentary.

All i have heard are snippets of the Legend. This was an incredible documentary that opened my eyes. Ford was one of the biggest folk heroes America has produced. His criticism of the " money-changers " put him into a very precarious position as far as his place in history. I am more than half-way into the video. So far it seems balanced. I wanted to cry when i found out about " Greenfield Village ". I than wanted to cry again at the end with the death of Henry's son Edsel. This documentary is almost a Greek tragedy. I feel this documentary is a very loving - but very fair description.

He was right about everything.
I have been a Ford bloke for over 40 years, Henry was ahead of his time, I also agree with many of his world views, and people should read his book ''The International Jew'', or the the KJV as it also talks about ''them'' as well.
There is a reason why the Model T beat out all the other cars from all the other companies - the width of the wheel track exactly matched the carriage ruts left by horse-drawn vehicles; so, where other cars couldn't make it along all the muddy roads of cities at that time, the Model T could use the shallow compacted mud at the bottom of carriage wheel ruts, and drive at normal speed.

@busyrightnow7259 It was not only to the German side. He helped, with his engineers, factory and technology, to build up and modernize the soviet state. Reading the book "coming out of the ice" gives a good insight into this piece of history. Just like many other companies at that time, that still exists, they played both sides and as usual war is great business. Speaking of Patton, he didn´t want to stop in Germany, but go on and crush the red terror threatening the whole of Europe... he was a lone voice tough and had the western power-houses against him who had invested heavily into Soviet.

The only "heroes" were the automotive workers. People like Henry Ford are only parasites on the backs of the working classes.
The family drama throughout the documentary is intriguing. Maybe scratching the surface of the depth, of what lay under their woodpile.
Henry being an old man, he took credit for his son’s successful car design, schmuck. Henry didn’t adapt to change very well, this was the perfect time for Edsel to take over since he was modern and was in touch with younger society. The people wanted options and change since the 1920’s went roaring.

Watching because I want to see if his papers get covered. Edit. Just finished watching. Fantastic documentary 👏 👏👏 The brilliant and the pathetic, the genius and the fool, well done. No wonder he was the "creator" of the society of a brave world. T Have you done Dr Kellogg yet? Another similarly visionary genius and fool.
Henry Ford could not do the complex math and physics when designing a car, but I heard that he had a brilliant engineer working for him who did most of the ground work and Henry would check over it, make any changes and pass it. That is how, I suppose, the model 'T' came into being. It isn't an ordinary car, upon closer look you can see it has many aspects of a properly engineered vehicle for the time when proper roads were few and especially the rural folk were far out in the outback. The railways had laid the foundations for connecting the country and Henry must have thought the car would do the same at a personal level. The 'Fordlandia' project was mentioned, but in passing toward the end. I think this was one of Henry's brilliant projects to warrant in depth presentation. Ford also had an assembly plant in Japan back then, which churned out cars in tendem with Japanese home grown manufacturers. I am not sure if Ford had in Henry's time a plant in India, which is a major market (GM had an assembly plant there in the 30's), and latin America.

In those early pioneering days, there were a few schooled engineers, mostly who were into railways, ship building and bridge building.

Exactly. Henry Ford as an adult must have completely forgotten the sacrifice his farmer parents made by letting him freely abandon farming work to live the life he wanted and pursue his dreams and happiness by his own standards, and he unfortunately never grew intelligent enough to give the same to his own son, even though he may have had benevolent intentions at the root. This phenomenon is quite observable at other points in his life, and in other remarks and observations he made, too: a very good, but superficial observer, never looking for an explanation deeper than what seems to satisfy contemporary practical needs. Try to explain to the first man on Earth who said "The Sun revolves around the Earth and therefore the Earth is not flat in all probability." that he is not 100% right...

Not Henry Ford the genius inventor, but Henry Ford the stubborn father with his marble-hard skull, who never gave the understanding and liberty to his own son he himself had received from his own parents in his time. Without which he would have probably remained a bitter, mediocre farmer, perhaps financially well off, but mourning his unborn inventions all his life deep inside. Fathers who are turned into self made men by the circumstances of their own lives - not only in the classical, capitalist sense of the expression, but who have to become young adults very fast for some reason, often fall into this trap of selfishness despite the best of intentions. They fail to realise the son is not another invention, concept, blueprint or project of theirs but a sovereign individual with his own plans and ideas.

After that, they get down to business and it's not worth watching (and it makes me wonder why I wasted an hour looking at the first part - foolish of me to expect any better of PBS). As to Henry Ford; no-one's perfect but, one way or another, he contributed more to the working class than almost anyone else I can think of. Certainly, more than any socialist who comes to mind. Can you think of anyone who benefited the working class more than Henry Ford? It's an interesting question.

Ordering is. 23:40 Ford wants his son to spend as much time as possible in the factory. Tougher on son than anyone else. They are creating problems and solving them. 25:00 Bussiness is to sell cheap products. To break through. Assembling one car takes 12 hours and 13 minutes. 28:45 Efficiency of time. Boring time, the sound of the machine. 31:40 Strategy of repeat workers. Secret meeting. 35:00 Same work but different income. 36:21 Seems more uninteresting with money than in being in the public spotlight. Money did not change him. Still love nothing more than home-cooked meals and afternoons working on the farm. Genious adventure with simple taste. Hardworking, mechanical genius. 38:45 The ego 40:51 43:40 Home 55:56 Ego, being the center of the spotlight 58:25 Hate wallstreet and investor 1:00:08 Support 1:03:17 Published the article: Jews, control, manipulate world, link to Wall Street, etc 1:05:45 1:07:02 He deemed about Jews 1:11:32 Tension 1:14:11 1:14:57 Announcement of the new car 1:17:18 Never forgave 1:18:30 Big factories at the Rouge River under his control and leadership. 75k employes 1:24:10 Hometown, Nostalgia, hate the Rouge, love Greenfield Village 1:27:32 Crisis, stock market, layoff 1:32:13 Tension 1:32:58 Edsel style.

Did they mention in this documentary that he helped fund the Nazi Regime?? Thats a pretty important part about Ford that might be left out.
Good old Henry certainly proved war being good for business to be correct
Ford is one of the 100 geniuses who lived throughout history
The United States needs an Industrial Policy that rebuilds Manufacturing and the Middle Class

It's quality vs cheapness, & it is the human condition to not understand the difference & naturally be drawn to a inferior product because of price & the illusion they r getting a good deal, rather than buying something that has been built to last & has been built with some pride, cheapness has no cure or pride.

Thats not the agenda!
he's alien level
Great Tv series!
Seeing these comments disturb me. Ford was an incredible figure, but if you watched this and only have blind praise, you were not paying attention.
Excellent documentary. Conflicting because on one hand Henry Ford was a giant of the 20th century, visionary and shaper of modern industrial America and the world. Yet also a person with many personality traits that fair minded people despise and revile from both then and especially now. So no doubting his genius but it tempers the admiration. somewhat.
Good job bud keep it up
He wasn't just inventor car maker . He was deep thinker and he understands what is wrong with a world back then , probably to these days . One of a kind Henry Ford .

He was hardly a deep thinker. Had terrible prejudices and had no way to weigh his narrow views toward other than in his little corner of the world. He was able to think practically and had good business sense.

Henry Ford created a rubber plantation in South America and a new town for the workers. It was a monumental failure. He had not even had the soil tested there in order to know if rubber trees could be grown there. Good to know what you don't know, wouldn't you say?

He had the international Jewish bankers down to a tee. Not much has changed since I am saddened to report.

@@gregorybezanson you can be a deep thinker at the parochial level too. You don't allways have to ponder the vastness of the universe to be a clear concise thinker.
