ON THIS DAY: In 1908, General Motors was founded in Flint, Michigan, by William Durant. The bittersweet documentary ROGER AND ME charts the fall of Flint after GM closed its factories there -- filmmaker Michael Moore's attempts to talk to GM CEO Roger Smith are interspersed with cutting scenes of the despair of the people of Flint in the wake of mass unemployment.
