Synopsis of The Last Truck: The Closing of a GM Plant
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. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
