If you enjoy these podcasts please subscribe on YouTube at https://youtu.be/k9wGGJ1BxSk. Henry Ford's Mirror of America is one of the most awe inspiring collections of early film ever assembled. Ford had a high dollar film studio in place to gather footage for newsreels and documentaries about his business and about America at large. Compiled here are the most precious pieces of that great archive. This documentary documents the American lifestyle and how the automobile was quickly changing it. But far more than the history of the automobile and automobile manufacturing is shown. Of special interest are scenes of Coney Island, 1915 Model T, assembly line manufacturing, World War 1, and Ford himself in meetings with various luminaries like Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and others. Henry Ford had a tremendous impact on America, and this film is a testament to his influence and historical standing, since the content ranges through all aspects of early 20th century America. Henry Ford's Mirror of America is an essential record of American cultural history.
