Before Flint, Michigan had their recent water crisis, they had a jobs crisis. In the late 80's GM shuttered 11 plants and laid off 30,000 workers. "Roger & Me" is Michael Moore's dogged attempt to get GM chairman, Roger Smith, to go to Flint and see the devastating effects of the plant closures.
"Roger & Me" is a really depressing documentary. Flint went from a humming middle class community to a derelict wasteland with high crime and high unemployment. I'd like to say that "Roger & Me" had a happy ending, but if you know anything about Flint today, then you already know the answer to that.
