6. (10%) American Factory is a gritty documentary produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions, as part of a partnership deal with Netflix. At the start of the film, a large General Motors automobile manufacturing plant, in Dayton, Ohio, has closed its operations. It is worth noting that the closure took place in 2008, at the beginning of the Great Recession. Over 10,000 local jobs were lost, leaving over 2,000 families unemployed. As other factories closed, it was nearly impossible to find jobs or employment at the compensation they had previously earned. The locals struggled to find their way back to the middle class. Six years later, Chinese investor Cao Dewangreverentially referred to as the "chairman"purchased the shuttered automobile factory and retrofitted it as an American outpost for his Fuyao Glass auto-glass manufacturing empire.
