Roger & Me

Book • 1989
Roger & Me is Michael Moore's 1989 documentary film debut, portraying the devastating effects on Flint, Michigan, after General Motors CEO Roger Smith closed several auto plants, resulting in massive layoffs.

The film follows Moore's attempts to confront Smith and highlights the human and economic consequences of corporate decisions, juxtaposing the struggles of laid-off workers with the corporate elite's indifference.

It combines humor and social critique to expose the widening gap between the wealthy and working class in America.
