No innovation has defined our world more than the factory.
When we think of factories, we think of vast assembly lines manufacturing our cars or packaging our goods and technologies – but there is so much more to them than this. Factories have not only shaped our history, they have built our modern world, giving us the power to create, build, destroy and consume as never before.
This five-part documentary series explores how the factory has grown from humble beginnings, continuously reinventing itself to remain at the cutting edge of science and design. Each episode looks at a different industry or innovation, from the evolution of car manufacturing to the role of factories in the rise of mass consumption.
They have launched us into space, and they have powered us through wars; where will the factories of the future take us next?
