Default Henry Ford Doco

Just finished watching a doco on Netflix called American Experience : Henry Ford. For anyone that has Netflix it's definitely worth
a watch.

Was a good doco (lots of good ones on Netflix)

Have to admit I didn't know much about HF at all before watching it.

About 1/4 the way through I was thinking, wow this guy was great!

Then about halfway was thinking "wow.. ok.. maybe not so much"

3/4 the way through "wtf is this dude on?!"

Posted before on here if you want to read more comments on it, but worth the repost to get more watching it. It's a great insight to the man.

"A faster horse" is another documentary to check out for those who haven't seen it. It focuses on the Mustang engineering team for the 2015 Mustang and has a bit of history too.
