DESCRIPTION: In the wake of Argentina's dramatic economic collapse in 2001, Latin 
 America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of 
 abandoned factories and mass unemployment. The Forja auto plant lies 
 dormant until its former employees take action. They're part of a daring 
 new movement of workers who are occupying bankrupt businesses and creating 
 jobs in the ruins of the failed system. \n\nBut Freddy, the president of 
 the new worker's co-operative, and Lalo, the political powerhouse from the 
 Movement of Recovered Companies, know that their success is far from 
 secure. Like every workplace occupation, they have to run the gauntlet of 
 courts, cops and politicians who can either give their project legal 
 protection or violently evict them from the factory.\n\nThe story of the 
 workers' struggle is set against the dramatic backdrop of a crucial 
 presidential election in Argentina, in which the architect of the economic 
 collapse, Carlos Menem, is the front-runner. His cronies, the former 
 owners, are circling: if he wins, they'll take back the companies that the 
 movement has worked so hard to revive. \n\nArmed only with slingshots and 
 an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the workers face off against the 
 bosses, bankers and a whole system that sees their beloved factories as 
 nothing more than scrap metal for sale.\n\nWith The Take, director Avi 
 Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, 
 author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic 
 manifesto for the 21st century. But what shines through in the film is the 
 simple drama of workers' lives and their struggle: the demand for dignity 
 and the searing injustice of dignity denied.\n\n
