Avi Lewis
The Take [videorecording]= Avi Lewis - Argentina Barna-Alper Productions Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) 2004 - 1 videodisc (ca. 87 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in. - David W. Foster Collection .
From case cover:
In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. Thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory in Buenos Aires, roll out the sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.
Respected journalist Avi Lewis and renowned author Naomi Klein (No Logo) 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.
DVD video; Dolby Digital 5.1, 2.0; surround, stereo; NTSC; Region 1; 4:3 fullscreen.
Spanish and English audio. Optional Spanish and English subtitles.
