dismissal

A documentary about the closure of General Motors' plant at Flint, Michigan, which resulted in the loss of 30,000 jobs. Details the attempts of filmmaker Michael Moore to get an interview with GM CEO Roger Smith.

Armed only with a camera and a sharp sense of humor, Moore is in the nation's heartland searching for an executive who will respond to one tough question: If Fortune 500 companies are posting record-setting profits, why do they continue laying off thousands of workers?.

Kate Mackenzie thinks life can't get any worse, until her tyrannical boss makes her fire the most popular employee in the department, leading to a lawsuit for wrongful termination, and a close encounter with a Manhattan lawyer who embodies everything Kate detests.
