Film viewing and discussion with the movie’s creator. Andy Kirshner, D.M.A. Chair, Department of Performing Arts Technology, U of M School of Music, Theatre & Dance
Join the movie creator, Andy Kirshner for a special viewing of his award winning movie “Ten Questions for Henry Ford.” In this movie, Henry Ford returns to today’s Detroit. Wandering through the post-industrial landscape of Southeast Michigan, he encounters the ruins of his former factories, the resilient beauty of the Rouge River, the violent legacy of his own words, and the insistent memories of his beloved, but estranged son, Edsel. This fi lm also examines Ford’s anti-Semitic articles published in his personal newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. Blaming Jews, Ford’s publications spread around the world and to Germany, where they became enormously popular. Hitler praised Ford as “the leader of our fascist movement in America.”
