The Roger of the title is the GM chairman, and the film charts Moore's attempts to bring him back to Flint to see what the company's decision has done to the inhabitants of the town."@en

"When hard times come to his hometown, Michael Moore sunk every penny he had into filming "Roger & Me".

"Die Stadt Flint lebte fast ausschließlich von General Motors. In den 80er Jahren verlagerte deren Vorstandsvorsitzender Roger Smith elf Fabriken von Flint nach Mexico und setzte 30.000 Arbeiter auf die Straße. Trotz aller Versuche, andere Industrien anzusiedeln und durch ein vielfältiges kulturelles Angebot Touristen anzulocken, wurde Flint bald die unattraktivste Stadt der USA mit einer extrem hohen Verbrechensrate. Nur wenige Menschen waren so beschäftigt wie der örtliche Marshall, der die vielen Zwangsräumungen vollstrecken mußte."
