She was a lead field analyst for "The Take" with Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein. She has visited dozens of recovered, cooperative factories, interviewed countless workers, and fought for the success of the workers in efforts ranging from analyzing business plans to making Molotov cocktails. She is currently a member of The Working World which seeks to sustain the cooperative movement in Argentina. Ceclia is very familiar both with the world abroad and the very local struggles in Buenos Aires, and her keen perceptions are certain to provide fascinating insight of the life and struggle of workers in Argentina. Lalo Paret: Lalo grew up in one of most infamous slums outside of Buenos Aires. Following the example of his mother, Lalo soon became a local leader, helping not only to fight for the rights of his community but also to organize its members into practical economic groups. After the financial crisis of 2001, Lalo became a key member of the "Movement of Recovered Factories" and was the organizer of countless factory take overs and their subsequent transformation into successful businesses. Lalo quickly became a trusted source for "The Take", and he can be seen on film organizing the Forja factory with the words "Occupy, resist, and produce." He is currently a member of The Working World which seeks to sustain the cooperative movement in Argentina. ABOUT THE FILM: This is the story of working people who decide to fight back against a corrupt and brutal system. Against the backdrop of Argentina's historic economic collapse, the film chronicles the extraordinary story of workers and activists who take back their bankrupted businesses, and run them without bosses. To reclaim their lives and their dignity, they first have to face down the former owners, the trigger-happy police, and, in the midst of national elections, the prospect of a repressive government returning to power!
