This is Michael Moore's devastating documentary on what happened when GM shut down its plants in the company's birthplace of Flint, Michigan, which also happened to be his hometown. Pulling the car images from this film gave me a new appreciation for it. Most of the cars driven in this film are GM products in wildly varying states of condition and (dis)repair, which adds a very heartbreaking element to the film that Michael Moore himself may not have even fully appreciated. For instance, the scene near the end where the family is evicted on Christmas Eve, both of the weatherbeaten cars loading up the furniture (the Buick Skyhawk and the Chevy pickup) had apparently been made at the now-closed GM plants.
Some of these may not make the final cut but I felt since the auto industry was the whole point of the film and General Motors in particular, I felt it was important to save as many of these as I could.
