Film-makers whored themselves to GENERAL MOTORS


There is no question that this is a well made documentary. The people covered are moving and their lives a powerful story.

BUT....

By taking money from GENERAL MOTORS the film-makers absolve GM and the Big Auto regime of its responsibility for the destruction of Detroit, betrayal of the population and continued refusal to embrace innovation.
We need a documentary that could be called A TALE OF TWO MOTOR CITIES comparing Detroit with Stuttgart only then will Detroiters and Americans realise how the Big 3 have screwed them. Though Benz Town is not much better on the innovation point either.
