Taylor Chain I & II are a pair of documentary films, produced by Kartemquin FIlms, that first examine a seven-week workers' strike at a Hammond, Indiana chain manufacturing plant and then follow the collective bargaining process of the same plant one decade later. Originally released by Kartemquin as two separate short documentaries in 1980 and 1984, Taylor Chain I & II were released together to show how the decade-long labor movement was effected by the recession and anti-union legislation of the early 1980s.
Taylor Chain I: The Story in a Union Local begins in the 1970s, as workers at the Taylor Chain manufacturing plant begin negotiations with management for a new contract. Cameras go from the factory floor into the union hall, as workers both young and old argue about stipulations within proposed contracts. The negotiations lead to a seven-week strike, as the union takes to the picket line. Eventually, both sides make concessions and the workers return to work.
Taylor Chain II: The Story of Collective Bargaining begins ten years later, in the early 1980s, as both workers and management are attempting to save the plant as recession and globalization have reduced the factory's workforce drastically. The union and management sit across from one another in a Holiday Inn conference room, trying to come to a compromise that will both save the plant as well as take care of the workforce. In the end, the two sides come to an agreement, but it is not enough to save Taylor Chain from closure.
Directed by Jerry Blumenthal and Gordon Quinn, Taylor Chain I was the winner of the 1980 William Friedkin Award at the Chicago International Film Festival. Also directed by Blumenthal and Quinn, Taylor Chain II won the First Award at the 1985 International Labor Communications Association Film & Broadcast Competition. Broadcast on public television, Taylor Chain I & II have been praised for their realistic glimpse into the lives of blue-collar workers.

Moore évoque d'abord son enfance à Flint, ses envies de départ, la période lors de laquelle il devient journaliste à San Francisco, puis le choc que subit la ville ouvrière quand il y revient, avec le début de licenciements massifs et de fermetures d'usines. Victime des délocalisations au Mexique menées par sa mono-industrie, Flint cherche des reconversions improbables, comme le tourisme, qui échouent inéluctablement, et voit grimper le chômage, les problèmes sociaux, la criminalité et l'exode de sa population. Le président Ronald Reagan, venu à la rencontre des habitants, leur conseille ainsi de partir chercher du travail ailleurs.
