| 1986 |"This Emmy Award winning documentary film travels from Tennessee to Mexico’s northern border; from Silicon Valley to the Philippines. The Global Assembly Line takes viewers inside our new global economy.
It is a vivid portrayal of the lives of working women and men in the free trade zones of developing countries and North America, as U.S. industries close factories to search the globe for lower-wage workforces. We take a rare look at the people who make the clothing we wear and the electronic goods we use, as well as, the business decisions behind manufacturing on the global assembly line."
