- Synopsis
- In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - the take - has the power to turn the globalisation debate on its head.
Avi Lewis/producer Avi Lewis (Counterspin) and writer/producer and renowned author Naomi Klein (No logo) take viewers inside the lives of ordinary visionaries, as they reclaim their work, their dignity and their democracy.
An Anti-Globalization documentary. With opinions from Bill Clinton, Gustavo Cordera, Freddy Espinoza, Nestor Kirchner, Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, Carlos Menem, Lalo Paret, Juan Domingo PerĂ³n, Anoop Singh, Luis Zanon, and many more.
