Josh Rushing heads back to his home town of Lone Star, Texas where the biggest employer in town, US Steel, has idled its plant – laying off nearly a thousand
workers.
There, he discovers how the shutdown has affected every member of the community - from former steelworkers to gas station owners, from hair stylists to his own mum.
In the face of a global economic crisis that has brought the manufacturing sector to its knees, Fault Lines reveals how the decline of an iconic industry could lead to the death of a small US town.
The second episode of Fault Lines can be seen from Thursday, April 30, at the following times GMT: Thursday: 0600, 1630; Friday: 0130, 0830; Saturday: 1130, 2230; Sunday: 0630, 2030; Monday: 1430; Tuesday: 1230, 1930; Wednesday: 0300.
