DESCRIPTION:From Venezuela to Chicago: a Factory Closed is a Factory Occupied\nTime: 
 Friday, April 17th at 7 PM\n\nPlace: 522 Valencia St. 3rd floor 
 Auditorium\n\nFrom Chicago to Ireland, from Venezuela to Indonesia, from 
 Brazil to the Ukraine, from Argentina to Canada - and around the world - 
 workers are beginning to fight back against the crisis of the economic 
 system by occupying the work place in order to win.\n\nJoin Hands Off 
 Venezuela on Friday, 17 of April, 7 PM at 522 Valencia St. in San 
 Francisco, where we will be premiering “FRETECO: Occupies factories under 
 workers’ control” and hosting John Peterson, national secretary of the 
 Hands Off Venezuela campaign, speaking on what has happened in Venezuela so 
 far and future prospects for the Bolivarian revolution, followed by 
 questions and discussion.\n\nON THE FILM:\n\nA new film on the Venezuelan 
 Revolution. Produced by Vive TV in Venezuela, this new documentary on 
 FRETECO explores the movement of occupied factories and workers' control in 
 Venezuela. From the Mitsubishi auto plant to the Inveval valve plant; from 
 the Gotcha T-Shirt factory to the INAF hardware factory, workers young and 
 old, male and female, tell their stories and explain why they came to the 
 realization that demanding nationalization under workers' control is the 
 only way forward. With examples explaining how factory and workers' 
 councils function, the role of the communal councils, and the movement for 
 "trade unionism of a new type," this video provides a living, breathing 
 look at a crucial aspect of the Venezuelan Revolutionary process. Spanish 
 with English subtitles by U.S. HOV.\n\nSuggested donation: $5. All proceeds 
 go to help the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign publicize the work of FRETECO 
 in the U.S. and internationally. No one turned away due to lack of funds. 
 Co-sponsored by Hands off Venezuela and the Workers International 
 League.\n\nFor more information: sfbay@ushov.org\n
