THE TAKE

“A cross between Michael Moore’s caustic style and Ken Loach's eloquence.”
International Herald Tribune

“The filmic equivalent of a '60s-era folk song by the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, mixing hope and despair, idealism and cynicism, faith in working people and distrust in the bosses.”
Toronto Life

ARGENTINA: “NOT JUST ANOTHER POOR COUNTRY, BUT A RICH COUNTRY MADE POOR!” The extraordinary drama of Argentina’s decline during the last decades of the 20th century is a cautionary tale of violence, corruption and betrayal. Suave, smiling and tanned, President Carlos Menem shamelessly presided over a great nation’s economic collapse. No Logo author Naomi Klein and Canadian TV producer Avi Lewis follow the exhilarating rise of a workers’ movement to repossess abandoned Argentine factories, recreating the jobs they once held within the framework of a democratically run cooperative. THE TAKE embodies a vision of working people forging genuine alternatives to a brutal economic model — a story whose implications are universal.
