"Rusted" is a historical portrait of Holyoke—a city frozen in time by the brutal process of deindustrialization. Through the collective memory of its diverse immigrant working class, the film reconstructs the 1970s and 1980s, when Holyoke’s factories went silent and the community was left to endure decades of economic decline, disinvestment, and stagnation that continue to this day. The director draws a direct connection between this collapse and the rise of federal neoliberal policies that reshaped not only Holyoke but also the future of industrial cities across America.
