A film crew for "American Made Movie," a documentary about U.S. manufacturing, will roll through Charlotte this Friday as part of its 30-cities-in-30-days tour.
The feature-length documentary explores the decline in America’s manufacturing workforce, and the tour promotes small and large companies that have had success with American-made products.

They need to look at the DesignLine USA facility in South Charlotte. It's a company that had potential for exporting American Bus Technology. It was defeated by local banks and investors. It's been closed and will likely go bankrupt.
A great deal of the problem is 'Buy American' but Americans not supporting their own community. Plus, the Chinese bus industry is building a plant in Calf to build buses just to get American Contracts, especially in Calf.
