SCAD Savannah Film Festival: American Factory

In post-industrial Ohio, a Chinese billionaire opens a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant, hiring 2,000 blue collar Americans still recovering from the 2008 recession. For the first time in nearly a decade, the locals are optimistic about the future. But early days of hope give way to setbacks as high-tech China collides with working-class America. Q&A with director Steven Bognar following screening.
