American Factory
American Factory
The film American Factory (2019) tells a unique story that reflects the collision of two cultures, between dreams and reality in the modern industrial world 馃實. Produced by Barack and Michelle Obama through their production company Higher Ground 馃幀, American Factory follows a Chinese-owned factory in Ohio, where American and Chinese workers collaborate under one roof 馃.
The story is not just a confrontation about technology, management, and production strategies 鈿欙笍, but also addresses deeper issues of class, race, and the meaning of work in today鈥檚 society 馃捈. American workers face change when the factory closes and later reopens under Chinese ownership. The conflicts between Eastern and Western values, between prosperity and injustice, are elements that captivate the audience 馃帴.

- Does American Factory tell the story of just one factory, or does it reflect the broader situation of the global economy today? 馃寪
