The Take, a documentary about Argentina's spectacular economic collapse and its effect on working families, will be screened Jan. 21 to Feb. 3 at the Bell Auditorium on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus.
Shows will be at 7:15 and 9:15 p.m. daily (except no late show on Tuesdays and no early show on Wednesdays) and at 5:15, 7:15 and 9:15 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The auditorium is located at 17th and University Ave. S.E. in the Bell Museum of Natural History.
The Take is directed by Avi Lewis and written and produced by Naomi Klein. In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. 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 and control their work democratically.
The struggle they endure shows the power of what a community supported, unionized workforce can accomplish when effectively using the tools of worker ownership and eminent domain. Over 15,000 workers in Argentina have unionized and occupied abandoned factories to re-start the machines - and The Take is the story of one of these factories. The film is in Spanish with English subtitles.
Shows on opening and closing nights will be followed by a brief discussion facilitated by Tom Pierson, board member of the Federation of Workplace Democracies in Minnesota and the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives.
