Dadetown

Dadetown focuses on an upstate New York community grappling with the closure of its once-thriving factory. The documentary features interviews that reveal the struggles of blue-collar workers facing massive unemployment as the factory shifts from producing a variety of goods to merely manufacturing paper clips and staples.

As the town's economic landscape changes, yuppies begin to move in to staff a local division of a larger computer company. This shift highlights the stark contrasts between the original residents and the newcomers, offering a poignant commentary on the impact of economic change in small-town America. The film's exploration of these social dynamics provides a compelling look at class conflicts in a shifting economy.
