The article discusses the story of Fordlandia, Henry Ford's failed utopian city in the Amazon Rainforest. In the late 1920s, Ford purchased 2.5 million acres of land to create a self-sufficient rubber plantation. However, the project faced numerous problems, including worker rebellion, poor living conditions, disease, and tree blight. Fordlandia was eventually abandoned in 1945, and today it is a relic of the past with some people living in the former city, growing their own food and relying on government assistance. Despite its failure, Fordlandia remains an example of pursuing dreams.
