Polaroid film as we know it has seen over a half-century of twists and turns as it fights to keep its place inside our beloved cameras. Where once Polaroid maintained a global network of factories around the world, it has since contracted to relying on one building in the Netherlands to maintain the survival of Polaroid. In this special episode, we explore the factory's hallowed halls, as everyone from chemists to shipping coordinators work as one organism to supply the world with film.
Special thank you to Andy, Camille, Irem, Ruben, and the rest of the Polaroid team that made this unique look under the hood possible!
