DESCRIPTION:The Women of Brukman (88 min.) (2008) Argentina \nBy Ishak Isitan \nThis is 
 an inspirational story of female workers who take over a Buenos Aires 
 men’s clothing factory during Argentina’s 2001 financial collapse. The 
 owners of the Brukman Clothing Company, facing bills, deficits and wages 
 they cannot possibly pay, ship all of the management out without mentioning 
 a word to the garment workers. Spurred on by devotion to their craft, 
 families and each other, the workers of Brukman decide to keep the factory 
 running themselves. Soon the former owners and the government come 
 knocking, leading the workers to stage a grueling peaceful protest for the 
 simple right to earn a decent living. Director Ishak Isitan takes us 
 through all the stages of the workers’ struggle, with footage right in 
 the middle of the action.\nPrizes:\nBest Prize at FIGRA 2009\nEl ojo cojo
