This documentary provides an insightful look into the complexities of the automotive industry and the pitfalls that can accompany innovative dreams. Narrated by Adrian Dunbar, it highlights the stark contrast between the glamour of DeLorean's vision and the gritty environment of 1970s Northern Ireland.
