In this short follow-up to "Roger & Me," Michael Moore revisits Flint, Michigan to reconnect with residents impacted by General Motors’ mass layoffs. Checking in on figures such as the “Bunny Lady” and Deputy Fred, the film documents the city’s continued economic decline while reflecting on the aftermath of Moore’s original documentary.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
