The Higher Ground Productions and Netflix movie American Factory won an Oscar for best documentary.
Big ups to the Dayton area couple who spent a year at the Fuyao Glass manufacturing plant in Moraine.
This is the first Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar.
The Higher Ground Production founded by Barack and Michelle Obama took home the award as well.
This is the first documentary that deals with the impact of General Motors.
The company left Dayton in 2008. The Chinese manufacturers came to Dayton to open up its first American plant. They chose Dayton as their hub.
Barack and Michelle Obama congratulate the pair.
Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change. Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release. https://t.co/W4AZ68iWoY— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 10, 2020
Congrats to Julia, Steven, and the whole crew on winning Best Documentary for #AmericanFactory, Higher Ground's first release! So glad to see their heart and honesty recognized—because the best stories are rarely tidy or perfect. But that’s where the truth so often lies. https://t.co/qtdNEw9H3f— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) February 10, 2020
