The Take background

The Take

Argentina's 2001 economic crisis sparks a revolutionary movement as factory workers occupy abandoned facilities, restarting production and establishing a pioneering cooperative ownership model that inspires hope for economic rebirth.

In Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers occupy their idle factory, refusing to leave until the machines are restarted. This simple act has global implications, challenging the debate on globalization. With only slingshots and a commitment to shop-floor democracy, they face off against the bosses, bankers, and the entire system that sees their factories as scrap metal.
