From a small workshop in Zlín to becoming the largest shoe company in history, Bata once dominated the global footwear industry. Founded by Tomáš Baťa, the company built an empire that survived world wars, economic collapse, and political upheaval.

At its peak, Bata operated in nearly 90 countries, employed tens of thousands of people, and produced hundreds of millions of shoes every year.

So what went wrong?

In this deep investigative documentary, we uncover:
• The rise of Bata from a small cobbler’s shop
• The revolutionary business model that built a global empire
• The hidden strategic mistakes that cost billions
• How competitors like Nike changed the game forever
• The impact of globalization and factory closures
