Premiering at the Red Vic February 18-27

Please join the makers of The Take to watch clips and discuss the process of creating this revealing and extraordinary documentary. Premiering in San Francisco at the Red Vic on February 18, the documentary The Take explores the extraordinary drama of Argentina¹s decline during the last decades of the 20th century. No Logo author Naomi Klein and Canadian TV producer Avi Lewis follow the exhilarating rise of a workers¹ movement
to repossess abandoned Argentine factories, recreating the jobs they once held within the framework of a democratically run cooperative.

The Take is Avi Lewis¹s feature-length directorial debut. Lewis was the host/producer of CounterSpin on CBC Newsworld, where he presided over more than 500 nationally televised debates. Naomi Klein is and award-winning journalist and author of the international bestseller No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies. Klein writes an internationally syndicated column
and a collection of her work, entitled Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate, was published in 2002.
