The synopsis for American Factory reads:
"In post-industrial Ohio, a Chinese billionaire opens a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant, hiring two thousand blue-collar Americans. "Early days of hope and optimism give way to setbacks as high-tech China clashes with working-class America."Director Julia Reichert and Director/Producer Steven Bognar said they were "thrilled" for the streaming service and Higher Ground to team up and bring American Factory to the world. They continued:
“Their energy and enthusiasm is infectious. We’re excited about the national and global conversations we believe this film can spark."Higher Ground Productions’ Tonia Davis and Priya Swaminatha said:
"We are drawn to stories that celebrate the human spirit through struggles and triumphs. Julia and Steve have made a remarkable film honouring the importance of dignity and security on the job as the global economy shifts and workers increasingly are caught in the middle."
