Moore évoque d'abord son enfance à Flint, ses envies de départ, la période lors de laquelle il devient journaliste à San Francisco, puis le choc que subit la ville ouvrière quand il y revient, avec le début de licenciements massifs et de fermetures d'usines. Victime des délocalisations au Mexique menées par sa mono-industrie, Flint cherche des reconversions improbables, comme le tourisme, qui échouent inéluctablement, et voit grimper le chômage, les problèmes sociaux, la criminalité et l'exode de sa population. Le président Ronald Reagan, venu à la rencontre des habitants, leur conseille ainsi de partir chercher du travail ailleurs.
