The maker of the Model-T was a dealer in lies. In the 1920’s, Ford published a series of inflammatory articles in his weekly newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. Blaming Jews for everything from WWI and economic depression to short skirts and the corrupting influence of Jazz, Ford’s publications quickly spread around the world — and to Germany, where they became enormously popular. Adolf Hitler praised Ford as “the leader of our fascist movement in America,” and awarded him a medal. Manufacturing Hate investigates the iconic automaker’s often sanitized place in American History, and reveals disturbing parallels between the Age of Ford, and our world today. A carefully researched combination of historical fact and poetic imagining, this innovative documentary-drama seeks out the roots of the present in the past.
