"We keep training them over and over." Netflix has debuted the official trailer for an indie documentary titled American Factory, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year to rave reviews. It also won the Best Director award, and was one of the most talked-about docs of the festival. American Factory has also played at the Full Frame, Sarasota, San Francisco, Hot Docs, Seattle, Sheffield, and Nantucket Film Festivals, and CPH:DOX. The documentary, made by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Julia Reichert & Steven Bognar, is about an automotive manufacturing plant (aka "factory") in Ohio that shuts down and lays off its staff, destroying the small town it's located in. Until a Chinese billionaire buys it and re-opens the plant. But the Chinese way of doing things goes against the way the American's do things, and they capture it all over years as the two cultures clash. Netflix scooped up this documentary at Sundance, and is giving it a small theatrical release in addition to streaming starting late this month. It's one of the best documentaries of the year, and one film I highly recommend to anyone interested in modern capitalism and international culture. ›››
