The Take


This Friday we'll be watching The Take - a documentary by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis about the economic collapse in Argentina and the ensuing rise in worker cooperatives and alternative economic systems. 8PM at our place - hope to see you out!

Watching The Take now was really timely for me, as I've been reading Klein's "Shock Doctrine," which uses a lot of info from her time in Argentina. This doc follows a group of factory workers as they try and reopen their factory as a worker cooperative. I thought it was really good snapshot of the effects of 'disaster capitalism' and the rise of creative thought towards alternatives.
