Movie #1873 "American Factory" -- I really found this film fascinating (but very long) --- but in comparison to a few of the other ones that are nominated in this category, this actually follows some kind of story line. It covers so many topics concerning the working class/work place ----importance of unions, the differences in the work ethic between the chinese and the u.s., "safety doesn't pay bills," machines taking place of people, the way companies work in China compared to us, what really is freedom, This is a very topical subject --- one we are continually wrangling with --- and it's wonderful how it covers all aspects of it. A very informative film, and I think one that has a shot to win for this category. I really like the idea of two countries coming together with so different attitudes but when coming together get mutual respect. This movie proves it can happen --- I give this a 4 out of 5 stars.
"AMERICAN FACTORY" 1 hour and 50 mins 2019 documentary
In post-industrial Ohio, a Chinese billionaire opens a factory in an abandoned General Motors plant, hiring two thousand Americans. Early days of hope and optimism give way to setbacks as high-tech China clashes with working-class America.
