  42. "This Country Used to Make Things" is a documentary that explores the industrial history of a once-powerful nation, focusing on the country's manufacturing sector. The film showcases the innovation and craftsmanship of the nation's manufacturing industry, highlighting the impact on communities and the pride in producing quality goods. However, the film struggles to maintain a consistent narrative and sometimes feels disjointed, leaving viewers wanting more context and analysis. Additionally, the film occasionally leans too heavily on sentimentality, which can feel manipulative. Despite these issues, the cinematography captures the beauty of abandoned factories and the resilience of communities trying to reinvent themselves. The soundtrack complements the visuals and adds to the emotional impact. Overall, "This Country Used to Make Things" is a worthwhile watch for those interested in the history of manufacturing and its societal implications.Personal Injury Lawyer Maryland
