“The Take”
Just two weeks after Naomi Klein gave her speech on media reform at the University of Illinois, Boardman’s Art Theatre is bringing her critically acclaimed film, "The Take", to Champaign-Urbana. Starting Friday, June 3rd, "The Take" will play for one week with another well-known documentary, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
Summary of The Take:
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. Armed only with slingshots and an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the workers face off against the bosses, bankers and a whole system that sees their beloved factories as nothing more than scrap metal for sale. With "The Take", director Avi Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century.
