Interviews in the Michael Moore/"Roger and Me" tradition examine life in small-town America, class conflicts and the collapse of an upstate New York community, Dadetown, when the town's once-prosperous factory, reduced to the manufacture of paper clips and staples, finally closes. Facing massive unemployment, the blue-collar Dadetown residents next find yuppies moving into town to staff the local division of a big computer outfit.

A mere glimpse at this film's IMDb or Criticker page will "spoil" it now. Is there any point in trying to keep its secrets? I guess it might be possible again to stumble into it unawares, as one would've on IFC at 2 in the morning in 1996. Anyways, psst, the twist is...it's not actually a documentary. But I don't know how anyone who's seen more than two movies wouldn't figure that out in five minutes. Not uninteresting tho'. A time capsule, yet "relevant" and somehow fascinatingly alien
