Fordlandia Ghost Town

In the middle of the Amazon, the haunted remains of Fordlandia

A century ago, the rise of the automobile industry created an overwhelming need for rubber. By the 1920s, auto tycoon Henry Ford tried to meet this demand by establishing the biggest rubber plantation the world had ever seen, in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. But the project was doomed from the beginning and abandoned before its conclusion.

Fordlandia: The Suburb Henry Ford Built in the Amazon Rainforest

As most of you know, Henry Ford was the automotive genius that founded the Ford motor company. He was a mastermind of production efficiency and pretty much revolutionized the way we build cars on a mass scale. What you probably don't know about Henry, is his failed attempt to build his very own town in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. He called it “Fordlandia”

FORDLÂNDIA - TRAILER

Existe uma cidade dos EUA perdida no coração da Amazonia. Ela foi construí­da em 1928 por Henry Ford, um dos maiores empresários da história, e recebeu o nome de seu criador: Fordlândia. Hoje, 80 anos depois de sua fundação, ela é a ruí­na de um sonho capitalista. Quando foi construí­da, era uma das cidades mais desenvolvidas do Norte do Brasil: tinha uma infra-estrutura de água, eletricidade, moradia e saneamento de causar inveja ao resto do paí­s. Mesmo com tudo isso a seu favor, não deu certo. Este documentá¡rio investiga as razões desse fracasso, além de descobrir como estão hoje os filhos dessa cidade, tanto os que ali permaneceram, como os que foram para os EUA. O filme é resultado de cinco anos de pesquisa, dezenas de entrevistas, viagens para dez cidades, no Brasil e nos EUA, tudo isso misturado com filmes raros sobre o tema, datados do início do século XX, e garimpados no Arquivo Nacional de Washington. Também é uma reflexão sobre a tentativa de transpor a cultura e o regime econômico norte-americanos para o Norte do Brasil, uma questão importante em tempos de discussão sobre a internacionalização da Floresta, e num momento em que a possibilidade de diá¡logo entre culturas diferentes é uma das pautas mais importantes em qualquer lugar do mundo.
