Описание: The Controversial Billionaire Who Built America’s Most Innovative Estate | Henry Ford Documentary

Henry Ford is remembered as the man who put America on wheels—but few understand how deeply his obsession with control, order, and efficiency shaped his private world. This documentary explores how Henry Ford built Fair Lane, one of the most technologically advanced private estates in American history.

Fair Lane was not simply a home. It was a controlled environment—designed to reflect Ford’s belief that society, labor, nature, and even daily life could be engineered to function with precision. From hydroelectric power and advanced heating systems to carefully managed landscapes, the estate reveals how Ford tested ideas of mastery, productivity, and permanence far beyond the factory floor.

Through historical records, architectural analysis, and contextual storytelling, this film examines how Fair Lane became a physical expression of Ford’s worldview—brilliant, innovative, and deeply controversial. It is a story not just about wealth, but about power, belief, and the hidden costs of absolute order.
