"
a stirring, idealistic documentary..." -- New York Times
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 globalization debate on its head.
In the wake of Argentina's economic collapse of 2001, groups of frustrated workers started seizing the country's bankrupt workplaces and running them without bosses. Director Avi Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists (CBC's counterSpin), and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, take viewers inside the lives of ordinary visionaries as they reclaim their work, their dignity and their democracy.
