Synopsis – What to Expect from “American Factory”
American Factory is a documentary film about the struggles of a Chinese billionaire and the American workers he hires to work in his newly acquired auto glass factory in Dayton, Ohio. The film follows the story of Fuyao Glass America, a Chinese-owned automotive glass plant, and its clash of cultures, work ethics, and expectations.
The film begins with the Chinese billionaire, Cao Dewang, acquiring the abandoned General Motors plant in Dayton, Ohio and reopening it as Fuyao Glass America. Cao is determined to make the factory a success and hires hundreds of American workers to staff the plant. However, the Chinese and American workers clash over their different work ethics and expectations. The Chinese workers are used to working long hours and taking orders from their superiors, while the American workers are used to having more freedom and autonomy in their work.
The film follows the struggles of the American workers as they try to adjust to their new working environment and the culture clash between the Chinese and American workers. The film also explores the impact the factory has on the local community, as well as the issues of corporate greed and outsourcing.
At the same time, the film looks at the bigger picture of globalization and its effects on the American workplace. It delves into the struggles of the American workers as they fight for better wages and working conditions, and how their efforts have been met with resistance from their Chinese bosses.
The film ultimately shows how the clash between the two cultures can
