In an era when "Made in the USA" is the go-to slogan for defending American labor, MADE IN THE USA questions who counts as the American working class. This is an Asian American identity and belonging story, with a working class twist. By blending personal narratives of AAPI workers, historical labor struggles, and a critical eye on popular American myths, the film prompts viewers to reconsider who truly cashes in on capitalism—and who pays the price.
