Documentary focuses on the workers of the General Motors Assembly Plant in Moraine, Ohio - which opened in 1981, and churned out an average of 280,000 small trucks and SUVs a year - from the announcement a year ago that the Plant will be closing, to its last day on December 23, 2008, just two days before Christmas. While the workers are shocked that they will be losing their jobs, we quickly see they are also losing much more: the pride they share in their work, the camaraderie built through the years, and the shared concerns about what their collective futures will hold. As the major industry in Moraine closes its doors for good, many see its demise as an indication of the changing American manufacturing landscape, which seems to be dying as products are increasingly being made elsewhere. The film offers a snapshot of a moment in America where we may be seeing the end of the blue - collar middle class.

When the General Motors assembly plant in Moraine, Ohio shut its doors on December 23, 2008, 2,500 workers and 200 managers were left without jobs. General Motors was the lifeblood of this small community, and in this documentary the employees reflect on the ways the company brought them closer to their neighbors as operations at the plant slowly grind to a halt. Body shop employee Kathy is a mother of three with six grandchildren, and viewed her co-workers more as a second family than simple colleagues. Meanwhile, as tearful electrician Kim, reflective toolmaker Popeye, and crestfallen forklift operator Kate turn in their GM cards, the final truck to be produced at the plant rolls off of the assembly lines, serving as an ominous herald of things to come in the struggling U.S. auto industry.
