Opens in Chicago on Friday Feb 18th!
THE TAKE
A film by Naomi Klein & Avi Lewis
** Winner, Grand Jury Prize, 2004 AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival **
"What we call the New Impatience, is emerging around the world as activists tire of endless shouting at deaf governments, and are increasingly focusing on direct solutions to local problems," says Klein, author of the bestseller No Logo.
THE TAKE, a powerful new documentary by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis explores the rise of a workers' movement in Argentina to repossess abandoned factories, re-creating the jobs they once held within the framework of democratically run cooperatives. Both Klein and Lewis hope that their documentary will inspire audiences to see how ordinary people working together can make a positive difference in their communities.

FROM THE PRESS
"Excellent! A classic victory for the little guy... If it were shown in U.S.cities hit by factory closures, it might give unemployed Americans ideas."
-New York Daily News
"[Its] greatest achievement is in personalizing the globalization debate."
-New York Post
"Builds tension like a quality thriller....a remarkable film that
demonstrates that in the fight against corporate globalization, resistance isn't futile."
-Mother Jones
