This documentary speaks to everyone - those on the factory floor and the CEO ... It shows both sides and lets you make up your own mind.

American Factory sets out to chart what's supposed to be a test run for the future of the auto industry and an example of positive international relations. It ends up capturing a cross-cultural car wreck in slow motion.

The documentary gains depth when it dives into the company's search for profit at the workers expense and takes a critical look at the capitalist system. [Full review in Spanish]
