Description

Andy Kirshner, a filmmaker and professor at the University of Michigan, will present his recent documentary art film, 10 Questions for Henry Ford, about the controversial life and legacy of the world’s most famous industrialist.

A carefully researched combination of historical fact and poetic imagining, the film draws on newspaper interviews, archival film, oral histories, and Henry Ford’s personal notebooks to contrast the popular Ford myth with a far more complicated reality. Professor Kirshner will be on hand after the screening for a question and answer session and discussion with the audience.

This 58-minute film is unrated.

A still image from the film shows a man standing in an abandoned factory. A photograph of Henry Ford as a child is projected on the crumbling wall.
