'It asks big questions: Is this the way the world needs to be? Is this right?' The filmmakers behind the Oscar-nominated 'American Factory' on why their documentary is about more than an auto factory
“We had an opportunity to do a snapshot of what it’s like in the world where working-class people, regardless of where you’re from, [are] under more pressure,” says Reichert. “Opportunities are fewer, the billionaire class is growing, and the possibilities for your lives are getting squeezed.
Over the three years that the filmmakers kept their cameras rolling, a narrative spine began to emerge: Concerned about lax safety standards and low pay, the American workforce considers forming a union, which Fuyao bitterly opposes.
“This film asks big-picture questions: Is this the way the world has to be? Is this sustainable? Is this right?”—Director Julia Reichert
