ANARCHIST FILM:
THE TAKE:
The film 'The Take' , by the Canadian team of Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis, has become something of an 'alternative classic'. It tells the story of how an auto plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina was threatened with closure by its owners and was taken over by the workers involved and reopened as a producers' cooperative. This is the sort of action that Molly has long advocated here, and it was actually done, in a situation such as an auto plant that Molly thinks is doubtful (see my comments on the recent workers' occupation of the auto plant in South Korea). But it did happen in at least one place.
This film is now available for download and viewing at another Winnipeg site, the Insurrectionary People's Picture Show Theater. Check it out over there, and see all the other treats they have available.

Thanks for posting this, Campanion!

Also, to give up a heads up, I've purcured a copy of Lina Wertmüller's Love and Anarchy, with english subtitles. As soon as I figure out how to post it on the web, I'll drop you a line.

Also also, check your facebook, I left you a message on there.
