Due to the kindness and generosity of hundreds of above-average Americans, The Red Tail crew completed production in Xiamen, China and Hong Kong this May. We now head into post-production for submission to major film festivals starting in Jan 2009.
Director Melissa Koch (far left), joins award-winning documentary filmmaker Dawn Mikkelson (Senior Director) to tell the personal story of working-class America in a global economy. This extraordinary young woman explores the trail of broken dreams left by a powerful corporation, while rediscovering the meaning of family and just how far they will go for one another. Through the lens of the Northwest Airlines struggle and its impact on one inspiring family, the Koch's (pictured above), The Red Tail explores the systemic destruction of the working-class in America and the impact of globalization on us all.
