American Factory - Netflix

[redsturgeon]

Watched this yesterday, about a GM factory closed down in Dayton Ohio but reopened by a Chinese company to manufacture auto glass.

A fascinating watch that touches on many issues, globalisation, the nature of work and community, the cultural differences between the US and China , unionisation and the coming automation of manufacturing.

As an aside it is the first product from the production company of the Obamas.

A very thought provoking film that made me fearful for the future of the average American worker (and UK worker).

Agreed, thought it was excellent.
