Henry Ford is often remembered as the man who put America on wheels. An industrial titan, a visionary, a symbol of progress. But beneath the shine of the Model-T lies a darker legacy. This episode unearths the other machine Ford built: one driven by control, fear, and silence.
From his antisemitic publications that inspired Nazi ideology, to his private army that brutalized labor organizers, to the utopian rubber empire he tried to construct in the Amazon rainforest-- this is the side of Henry Ford history prefers to forget.
With real photos, video archives, and chilling quotes from the men who followed him, this episode explores what happens when a man decides not just to build cars... but to engineer people.
