Presenter Megan McCormick chronicles the American industrial revolution in steel, oil and transport by visiting the sites where their fires were first lit. Through interviews and re-enactments, she tells the story of the rise and fall of the Midwest as the beating heart of U.S. manufacturing. Conrad Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford are the chief personages of her tale but this epic two hour travel film also points at modern rebirth in cities like Detroit, where small tech businesses and continuing innovation is planting new seeds of growth.
