This movie is an old movie in which the story is closely related to the de-industrialization of the USA, and it shows how some of the facts that were lost in the present narrative took a turn that made India also enter problems because of that.
It is fascinating to see it as people saw it, and find out how decisions that made two sides of an issue go through the same problems.
The movie is a product of fiction and speaks very lightly about the situations, but it shows an optic of the time that was lost to most people in the USA.
When you say "today's" problems, government and situation, it often comes from the result of a long time of decisions to a path of no return.
