“A good story gives you the opportunity to better understand someone else's life,” Obama said. This is what attracted me and Michelle to produce the first film of Haier Ground. ”

The documentary follows the lives of laid-off workers from the automotive industry during the 2008 recession, who were re-employed by China's Fuyao Glass Co.

Newspapers described the film "The American Factory" as "an excellent way to serve the task of shedding light on the stories of marginalized groups".

"We want people to go beyond themselves, get to know and understand the lives of others," Obama said.

Michelle Obama told filmmakers that she was particularly impressed by the early scenes of workers on the factory floor. "From here I came, that's how my father was," she said.

“One of the things I love most about this film ... is to let people tell their own story. This film does not carry a specific direction and has not been revised. ”

US media described the film as "poignant" as it gives "a wonderful glimpse into the challenges of globalization."

The film received a rating of more than 95 percent at one location for film ratings.
