"Norwood: Where Legends Were Born" is being Produced and Directed by Drew Money of Original MotorCar/Legendary Films.

From Drew:

"My interest in the GM Norwood story started when I was in my teens as a fun topic of conversation with my Dad, who owned two 1969 Camaros in his life.  I grew up in Tennessee, a long way away from Norwood, Oh — the town where these cars were built. But in a twist of fate, college brought me to the University of Cincinnati, right down the road from the original General Motors site in Norwood.

After years of college study, graduation, and the starting of a career and family, memories of riding with my Dad in his 69' Camaro occasionally sparked when I would drive past the site where his Camaros were built.  A few chance discoveries of online message boards and published historical accounts of the Norwood plant restored my interest in the subject, leading my Dad and me to meet many former Norwood employees as well as the author of a newly-published book on the history of the factory.  I knew right away that I wanted to tell the story of those who worked at Norwood and the incredible cars they produced.

Over the course of making this film, I've been fortunate enough to gather over 35 interviews with former plant employees, meet and interview Corey Lawson, the owner of the very first Camaro ever produced, sit down with Jay Leno and Burt Reynolds to talk automotive history, and reminisce about the Norwood-built Trans Ams portrayed in the smash hit movie, Smokey and the Bandit.

What started as a fun topic of conversation with my Dad has turned into hundreds of hours of research and information gathering that has provided the framework for this exciting look at the beginnings of one of most iconic car platforms of all time, the General Motors F Body.  Through interviews with those that were there at the plant in its heyday, as well as never-before-seen photo and video, we examine the topics of workers rights vs. corporate profits that made Norwood such a battleground.  We highlight innovations that Norwood Assembly pioneered, as well as examine factory low-points that led to the destruction of cars and jobs, casualties of the many strike movements at Norwood to advance workers rights.

Norwood’s workforce changed an industry, but it's cars changed the world.
