THE TAKE (2004)

Time: 6:00 pm
In suburban Buenos Aires, 30 unemployed auto-parts workers walk
into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats, and refuse to leave.
All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act -
the take – has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.
Armed 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. With 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.
This screening is part of the INCITE! Fort Collins monthly film series
meant to expose, inform, and connect the Fort Collins community to
social movements happening locally, nationally, and globally. For more info, contact
