THE TAKE

"In screening of THE TAKE across Canada and the U.S., people have been spilling out into the street afterwards, talking excitedly about economic democracy, popular participation, and horizontal organizing. THE TAKE is a rousing and hopeful kick in the butt- a reminder that another world is possible, and that people around the world are dreaming it into being."
-Avi Lewis, Director of THE TAKE

Are you ready to Fire the Boss?

In Argentina, groups of workers are taking over bankrupt workplaces and running them democratically - without bosses. The Take, a political thriller directed by Avi Lewis and written by Naomi Klein, is one answer to the question posed by both critics and supporters of radical movements worldwide: "We know what you're against, but what are you for?"

**Check out THE CHICAGO WORKERS' COLLABORATIVE Info Table during The Take's opening weekend. Low-wage day laborers who work in temporary staffing agencies have united together with faith-based and community organizations to form the Chicago Workers' Collaborative. The Collaborative seeks to raise the labor standards of low-wage workers by fighting against exploitive companies, promoting companies that agree to improved working conditions, and forming our own worker-owned cooperative businesses. For more information contact Tim Bell at 773-230-0351

WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY:

"Stirring!"

"Builds tension like a quality thriller....a remarkable film that demonstrates that in the fight against corporate globalization, resistance isn't futile."
