By award-winning directors Julia Reichart and Steven Bognar (A Lion in the House).

REVIEWS
“Of all the documentaries you see this year, this one most potently embodies the ever-changing sense of the words “Made in America.”” – Peter Debruge, Variety
“The saga of Fuyao Glass America, a Chinese-run company that overtook the old GM plant and rehired thousands of locals, unfolds as a fascinating tragicomedy about the incompatibility of American and Chinese industries.” – Eric Kohn, IndieWire
