 Argentina  In San Francisco   Cecilia Sainz:  Cecilia is a journalist by 
 training, and her work over the last few  years has focused on the 
 recovered factory movement and other  responses to the financial crisis of 
 2001.  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!  To view the
