A documentary film by Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein

THE TAKE - Occupy. Resist. Produce

A breathtaking film that documents working-class resistance in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse 30 unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory in Buenos Aires, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave! All they want is to re-start the silent machines.


Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein take viewers inside the lives of the workers and their families, who must fight for jobs and their dignity by confronting factory owners, politicians and judges. The result is a real-life political thriller that pits ordinary workers against the local ruling elite and the powerful forces of global capitalism.
