Kodak didn't miss the digital revolution. It invented it.
In 1975, a Kodak engineer built the first digital camera — while Kodak was making billions from film. What happened next became one of the most famous corporate collapses in business history.

This is the rise and fall of Kodak: how a company that dominated photography saw the digital future decades early, struggled to protect its film empire, and ultimately filed for bankruptcy.

In this documentary you'll learn:
How Kodak built one of the most powerful business models in America
How Steven Sasson created the first digital camera inside Kodak
Why digital photography threatened Kodak's enormously profitable film business
How Kodak struggled with the innovator's dilemma
Why Fujifilm survived the same technological disruption
How Kodak's digital patents became valuable even as its traditional business collapsed
