Anyone here seen this one? It's a recently-released documentary about a Chinese company that buys up an old, mothballed GM facility around Dayton, Ohio, to supply GM with auto glass. The company brings over hundreds of Chinese workers to work there and train the US employees, and a big culture clash ensues with the US employees and union bargaining, etc. It was produced by the Obamas; they have a film company now. I enjoyed it.
Here's the trailer. You can find the film on Netflix.

Apparently the company is still going and the film cuts off right before Trump is elected. Since then, they opposed the tariffs as apparently they were still importing glass from China and distributing it from there or something? You can find their testimony on the Request for Comment for the China tariffs on regulations.gov.
I had heard of this company a couple years ago before anything about this documentary, because the company owner had done an interview I found on YouTube while researching costs overseas vs domestically. Basically, he explains why it's cheaper for him to simply have the glass manufactured in the US.
