American Factory
Feb 9, 202000:29:02Tap to summarizeAmerican Factory is a 2019 OSCAR (TM) nominated documentary, directed by Bognar and Reichert. The "American" factory is situated in Dayton, Ohio and run by Chinese company Fayao. It's a tale of culture clash and labor politics but its use of music and humor makes this a remarkable piece of film making.
