Um bilionário chinês reabre uma fábrica e contrata dois mil operários dos EUA, mas o otimismo inicial não resiste ao conflito entre as mentalidades da China tecnológica e da mão de obra norte-americana.
Interessante ver o choque entre os modos de produção americano e chinês, além das percepções de cada cultura e de suas relações com o trabalho. Oscar de Melhor Documentário em 2020.
Vou indicar filmes para o enem! Que abordam vários temas que muitas vezes caem no enem despercebidos, e olhando esses filmes vocês podem acabar tendo mais noção sobre certos assuntos abordados!
Um dos melhores documentários que já assisti! Recomendo muito!

The story of culture collisions between Americans and Chinese in the business environment when rebuilding a sad territory, Ohio, and a overwhelmed population after the shutdown of GMC back in 2008. Inspiring, emotional and full of lessons to get to apply in your own life.
