Film – American Factory

July 16, 2021 @ 6:30 pm PDT

Free

American Factory was filmed in a Chinese-run, former General Motors assembly plant in Moraine, Ohio.  The billionaire owner hired 2,000 working-class Americans to work in his high-tech facility.  The result is this award winning documentary film about Americans at work in the 21st century.  It has a unique style emphasizing the voices of the workers over the noise of the factory.

The film was directed by Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert and premiered in 2019.  It was featured at Sundance and won the Best Documentary Feature at the 2020 Academy Awards.  It also won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary the same year.
