Roger and Me

Book •
Roger & Me is a 1989 documentary film directed by Michael Moore.

Moore chronicles his efforts to interview Roger Smith, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, about the economic impact of plant closures in Flint, Michigan.

The film combines humor and social commentary to depict the struggles of the working class in a deindustrializing America.

It follows Moore's persistent attempts to confront Smith, juxtaposed with scenes of poverty, unemployment, and community decline in Flint.

Roger & Me gained significant attention for its unique filmmaking style and its critique of corporate policies and their effects on local communities.

The film remains a relevant and influential work in documentary cinema.
