Obamas’ first film wins Oscar

“Our lm is from Ohio and China,” director Julia Reichert said while accepting her golden statuette. “But it really could be from anywhere that p uniform, punch a clock, trying to make their families have a better life.”

“Working people have it harder and harder these days, and we believe that things will get better when workers of the world unite,” she said.

Co-directed by Reichert and Steven Bognar, the lm is an all-access look at how both American and Chinese workers, from blue-collar to man their lives transformed by powerful global economic forces that caught the eyes of none other than the Obamas.

The 44th president and rst lady acquired “American Factory” at the January 2019 Sundance Festival, where it had won the directing aw released on Net ix in August that year as the rst offering from their Higher Ground Productions company.

Both Barack and Michelle Obama congratulated Reichert and Bognar for their win Sunday, with the former president calling the lm “a complex 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 rst release,” he tweeted.

Michelle said she was “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,” she wrote on Twitter.
