ABOUT THE SHOW
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
It was once the crown jewel of the American economy, but today, General Motors is fighting for its life, forced to beg Congress for a lifeline. How did GM, a juggernaut that once dominated the world stage, come to this point?
GM's crisis is also a crisis for the 2000 companies that supply parts to the automaker, like Seaway Bolt & Specials Corporation, a family-owned business in Columbia Station, Ohio with 75 employees that's wrestling with Detroit's downturn by cutting back on production… and jobs.
Warren Kennedy has worked almost every job on the GM factory floor. After taking a buyout, he looks back at a company vastly different from the one he began at 30 years ago.
With SUV sales tanking, GM's bid for a greener future hangs on its revolutionary electric car, the Chevy Volt. Just one problem: they still have to come up with a battery that can power the car.
GM hopes to make history - again. The Chevy Camaro, a classic muscle car born in the 60's, is back, and NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is the first to take the wheel.
