Description: Looks at the closure of a century-old industrial factory and the devastating loss of the vibrant community and culture that exists among workers in-between the factory walls. Poignant interviews with workers recalling the last day on the assembly line and their struggles over the years, are interwoven with archival promotional films from the 1950s which extol the wonders of home appliances.
Notes: When a factory closes, a lot more than the paycheque is lost...
