Production
Filmed from February 2015 until the end of 2017, Reichert and Bognar were granted access to film by Fuyao at both their newly opened Ohio and Chinese plant locations. They were inspired to make this film as the events they aimed to cover were taking place in the same Moraine Assembly plant once occupied by General Motor's, which was central to their 2009 documentary The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant.

Steven Bognar is an Oscar-nominated and award winning documentary filmmaker, whose films have been screened at SXSW, Sundance, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival. He has also worked as an instructor of media arts, teaching at public schools across his home state of Ohio, as well as at Antioch College.   He is a frequent collaborator with Julie Reichert.

Style
Bognar has developed a documentary filmmaking style that centralizes the Midwestern region of the Unites States, with significance placed on incorporating photographic imagery.
