The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant is an American documentary - short film by Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert in 2009, produced for HBO Films . It was nominated at the 82nd Academy Awards 2010 in the category “Best Documentary Short Film”. The film deals with the closure of Moraine Assembly, a General Motors automobile plant in Moraine , on December 23, 2008.
Reichert and Bognar spoke for six months with several hundred of the almost 3,000 employees in the factory who will lose their jobs due to the closure. Since they did not have access to the production halls to film there, they provided workers with Flip Video Mino mini cameras. Recordings of some of the last vehicles produced there could be obtained. There is no narrator in the film, primarily quotes from workers from the interviews are played.
