Synopsis

In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave.

All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - The Take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

  • I just watched this movie today on Google video - the parallels between the Argentine currency crash and what's going on in America today are unbelievably similar. Every American should watch this movie. This is a real heads-up on what is to come.

  • That was my upload to Google, the only one I'm aware of. Amazing for such a powerful movie.

    Thank You! American Capitalist Right-Libertarianism is a sick perversion of the true Libertarianism that was founded in Europe by socialist thinkers. Libertarian Socialism is the continuation of the great Enlightenment thinkers of that day. The ideas of liberty taken to their logical conclusion!

    Anarcho-Capitalist and American Libertarians are delusional if they think they have claim to libertarianism.

  • @darris321 the anti-big-government crowd are sponsored astroturfs. See "the billionaires tea party".

  • @manoverde84 Are you saying that the American Revolution was not done by anti-big-government libertarians?

  • "There's another word: EXPROPRIATION"

  • WORKERS OF THE WORLD FUCKING UNITE!!!

  • Great movie. I saw the movie at my Latin American class in College. Buena pelicula.

  • and what's crazy is that it wasn't that long ago....! let the people of the world laugh now muhhaahaha

  • BOOM-SHACK-A-LACKA!

  • Is this about worker's self-management? If it is, its a failed system. It existed in Yugoslavia throughout its post-war history, and it was inefficient. Very soon, the new "workers-appointed" board members and state-run corporate bureaucracy take over and make it equally unequitable for the workers. Plus in capitalist firms, there's at leas competition-driven efficiency, whereas in these socialist self-managed corporations, there's no real incentive apart from lining the apparatchiks' pockets.

  • Looks really good. btw thoughtmaybe,com pointed me to this, lot's more in a similar vein there (e.g Adam Curtis' films)

  • this cop that shot can break your head, it's not a problem
