An elegy for a vanishing emblem of what once characterized this country's vitality.
Redmon and Sabin carefully tease apart the insidious process of American deindustrialization, and by the end of the film the threads they unravel reveal how the free market can choke like a noose.
This is not an easy documentary to watch, in the sense that the filmmakers let the story tell itself, without narration or expert commentary. That ultimately makes it all the more touching.
An exposé of how the financial structures that make businesses possible in America seem to conspire against genuine good will and non-self-serving ambition.
