What The Take Is About
After the economic collapse of 2001, unemployed workers in Buenos Aires start walking into shuttered factories and restarting the machines. The thirty the film follows occupy the bankrupt auto parts plant where they used to work and roll out their bedding there; all they ask is that production begin again. Their slogan is exactly that: occupy, resist, produce. Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis's 2004 documentary is about how that simple act turns the globalisation argument on its head. Our record calls them ceramics workers; the plant at the centre of the film made auto parts.
