AMERICAN FACTORY
(a film review by Mark R. Leeper)

When a director films a documentary it often seems to go in unexpected directions. That is just part of the game. In this case the film covers what happens when Chinese company Fuyao and General open a factory in Moraine, Ohio. They run it with Fuyao's managing and with General Motors management. The workers start out very positive on the each company's cooperation with the other. Just how the two companies work together is the subject of the film. The subject matter is serious, but the style is familiar. It is very much the sort of story Michael Moore would have told but with more humor in the telling. Rating: high +1 (-4 to +4)
