A documentary investigation into corporate dishonesty
Following the closure of the General Motors factories in the city of Flint, filmmaker Michael Moore attempts to confront the company’s CEO, Roger Smith. During his investigation, he mainly encounters the residents of a neighbourhood ravaged by social deprivation. This debut feature film already brings together all the elements that would go on to make Moore famous: unwavering social commitment, self-staging and caustic humour.
