Join Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Farah Stockman for a conversation about her book American Made: What Happens to People when Work Disappears, which investigates the impact of an Indiana factory closure.
What happens when Americans lose their jobs? In American Made, an illuminating story of ruin and reinvention, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Farah Stockman gives an up-close look at the profound role work plays in our sense of identity and belonging, as she follows three Indiana workers whose lives unravel when the factory they have dedicated so much to closes down.
