The Death (Change) of an Industry: The Evolution (Collapse) of Retailing Trailers

The 4th film in the MAGA film chronicles, The Death (Change) of an Industry, explores the fluid business landscape through the prism of the Retailing industry. The film explores the changing landscape by interviewing small business owners, financial analysts, and a very senior retail executive (all from the same family) who helped run several large department store chains, including Bealls in Texas, PA Bergner in IL, and Venture dept stores, a division of the May company headquartered in St. Louis, MO. The film explores the seeds of manufacturing migrating to overseas and the loss of jobs as well as consolidation. The film explores the question as to whether it's just the normal evolution of business or the death of something vital - American, middle class jobs.

Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
