In a world where economic crisis and deindustrialization ravage a once-prosperous city, a bold filmmaker decides to take matters into his own hands. This autobiographical documentary follows the director as he explores the devastating consequences of General Motors' decision to close several factories in Flint, Michigan, leaving thousands of workers and their families without jobs. With an intimate approach and sharp humor, the filmmaker becomes the spokesperson for his community, documenting the suffering, frustration, and struggle for survival.
As he advances in his quest, he encounters a series of memorable characters: from laid-off workers trying to rebuild their lives to businesspeople and politicians offering their empty promises. Along the way, the ironies and contradictions of a society obsessed with success and consumption become evident. However, the most intriguing aspect is his attempt to reach out to General Motors' president, Roger Smith, in search of answers and justice.
Who is truly responsible for the suffering of a decaying city? With a blend of shock and satire, this cinematic tale invites reflection on the impact of corporate decisions and the fight of ordinary people in a world that often seems to turn its back on them. Ultimately, it becomes a powerful testimony of resilience and a call to action.
