Roger and Me

In the documentary “Roger and Me”, Michael Moore uses logos to express his point to the audience. This documentary is on the struggle of a small town in Flint,Michigan after Roger Smith, the chairman for General Motors, closed the General Motors factory and laid off over 30,000 employees. The closure of the factory caused many problems for the town, especially economically. Many of the employees were left with no jobs to go to and were being evicted from their homes. Moore spends a lot of time interviewing those who were directly affected by the closure of the factory, which provides a strong use of logos. Getting the views and testimonies directly from the employees provides the audience with a knowledgeable source. He also spoke with the General Motor lobbyist, which provided the views, and reasoning that General Motors expresses.
