This is a documentary about the closure of a factory of General Motors in Flint, Michigan. This decision led to 30,000 workers lost their jobs. The film revolves around the talents of director Michael Moore in an interview with GM CEO - Roger Smith.
Michael Moore's film is intelligent, funny, in-depth, and touching, all executed with a gripping hands-on approach to the material that helps engage the audience more than you're standard talking heads documentary.
Regardless of Moore's conceitedness and simple-mindedness, he still makes a good movie, and without inventing so many facts as he did with Bowling for Columbine.

Entertaining but overpraised first effort from Moore

So many classic bits.

Despite some tempering with the chronological sequence of events, this is a scathingly biting satire of Reagonomics that captures the zeitgeist of the late 1980s much more poignantly than most Hollywood movies.
Nem todos os argumentos de Michael Moore são válidos como ele gostaria, mas o filme cumpre seu objetivo ao analisar a decadência de uma cidade em função da ganância de uma grande empresa.

Rails against corporate greed and asks what happened to the American Dream and its promise of middle-class prosperity.
