Fordlandia chronicles Henry Ford's ambitious attempt in 1927 to create a rubber plantation in the Brazilian Amazon, aiming to export America itself. The project became a clash between Ford's rigid vision and the Amazon's complex ecology, transforming into a wild boomtown marked by indigenous resistance and environmental upheaval. Greg Granddin's narrative explores this bold venture as a quintessential American story of ambition and its unintended consequences.
