Following the Great Depression and preceding WW2, the 1939 New York World’s Fair lifted spirits and presented a glittering vision of a modern America of super-highways and innovation in design and technology.
It was a vision that also led to 70 years of dependence on cars and oil.
Film features Westport author and futurist Watts Wacker & others.
