Are we a nation on its
merry way to selling just cheeseburgers to one another? If we don’t make anything, what else do we
do?
That’s the question that is more or
less asked in Virgil Films & Entertainment’s Apr. 15 DVD debut of
documentary filmmakers Nathaniel Thomas McGill and Vincent Vittorio’s American
Made Movie, which is a chilling look at the decades-long decline in
domestic manufacturing capabilities and the social and economic ramifications
that go with that loss.
Plenty of examples are
delineated in this thought-provoking expose — from the devastation of Detriot
to the success of New England’s New Balance shoe manufacturing company. Price for the sake of price alone can be, as
the American
Made Movie makes the case, a slippery slope to disaster — think before
you buy (vote with your dollars), it is a simple message.
