\u201cWe are deeply honored to win the Emmy for directing \u2018American Factory,\u2019\u201d said Bognar, recently named Wright State University Alumnus of the Year. \u201cThough a team of us made this film, we could only have made it with the great leap of faith taken by and the trust given to us by everyone who works or worked at Fuyao Glass America. We tried to make a film that was both fair and honest, and that told this big story through multiple points of view. We are proud to bring a national Emmy home to Dayton.\u201d<\/p>\n
