Today, these once-great machines are fading into history, their operators growing older, their sounds—whirring, clicking, clanking—becoming echoes of the past.

This documentary tells the surprisingly emotional story of the people connected to the Linotype and the impact it had on modern life. Without it, would we even have computers, smartphones, or the conveniences we take for granted? The Linotype made knowledge accessible to the masses, but its own success led to its downfall. Now, these legendary machines are headed for the scrapyard.

Step back in time and discover the legacy of an invention that shaped the modern world.
