The City That Won WW2: Chicago's Hidden War Machine

This documentary tells the overlooked story of how Chicago became a hidden engine of American victory in the Second World War. When President Roosevelt called the country to become an arsenal of democracy, the city's factories, workers and rail lines turned out the war material that helped defeat the Axis. It shows the scale of industrial mobilization and the people whose labor made it possible. The film reframes the home front as a battlefield of production, machinery and grit.
