More about this documentary

Directed and reported by independent Michael Moore. It investigates General Motors CEO Roger Smith's summary action of closing several auto plants in Flint, Michigan, costing 80,000 people their jobs and economically devastating the city. Michael Moore, a Flint native, attempts to meet the chairman, Roger Smith, and invite him out for a few beers up in Flint to "talk things over". The film goes on to show that GM has used these profits not to create jobs, but to buy data processing companies (EDS) and weapons manufacturers (Hughes Aircraft), automate their current assembly lines, and build new plants in Mexico and Asia. In addition, GM has bought a controlling interest in Isuzu, entered into a joint operating agreeement with Toyota, and has become the second largest mortgage holder in the United States. Flint, Michigan, it seems, is no longer part of the GM plan. Moore's deadly sarcasm and trademark dark humour ads to "a compelling indictment of an American Dream gone awry".
