DESCRIPTION:The Contis, the Struggle Continues (95 min. 2010) France  \n By Philippe 
 Clatot \n In Spring 2009, more than 1000 workers at the Continental factory 
 in Clairoix, France, are told their plant will close for “economic 
 reasons” with the permanent loss of their jobs. The workers begin to 
 organize to defend their jobs and keep the plant open, and are infuriated 
 that the company would destroy their livelihood. \n\n Xavier Mathieu, a 
 worker representative from the CGT union said, “Until now they have seen 
 the Continental lambs. From now on, we are lions! We have been restrained 
 for five weeks, now we will let loose,” They begin to organize and begin 
 to learn the lessons from the past as they struggle to fight back. They 
 fail to save the factory but win 50,000 euros for each worker. \n\nOn the 
 Art of War  (85 min. 2010) Italy \nBy Silvia Luzi & Luca Bellino \nIn Milan 
 2009, Italian metal workers at the INNSE factory are faced with permanent 
 joblessness if the factory is dismantled and the land is turned over to 
 property developers. It is the last active factory left in Milan, and four 
 workers climb 20 meters to occupy a crane in the factory. They also 
 threaten to commit suicide unless the dismantling of the factory is 
 stopped, and their jobs are protected.\n\n The factory is surrounded by 
 police as well as their supporters, who have traveled from throughout the 
 country to back their right to a job.\n\n They are prepared to give their 
 lives to stop the destruction of their jobs by the corporate interests, who 
 are looking to profit from liquidating their factory. \nSee
