Documentary: The Take

Linux Club via G. Libetta, 15c (Ostiense, metro Garbatella), Roma (RM)

The documentary "The Take" will be screened in English followed by a discussion as part of the Eyes Wide Open Film Series presented by U.S. Citizens for Peace & Justice - Rome.

Film 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.

The story of the workers' struggle is set against the dramatic backdrop of a crucial presidential election in Argentina, in which the architect of the economic collapse, Carlos Menem, is the front-runner. His cronies, the former owners, are circling: if he wins, they'll take back the companies that the movement has worked so hard to revive.

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. But what shines through in the film is the simple drama of workers' lives and their struggle: the demand for dignity and the searing injustice of dignity denied."

    Turkish opponents and journalists in prison but Atlantic leaders remain unfazed

    The embarrassing NATO summit in Ankara

    This summit is a blatant application of the double standard policy. NATO preaches democracy and freedom and then meets in Turkey where democracy is trampled and freedom comes at a high price for political opponents, journalists, and human rights activists.

    La mappa della pace in Turchia

    In un paese come la Turchia dove la libertà di espressione è spesso messa a dura prova, il movimento pacifista rappresenta una realtà complessa e coraggiosa che intreccia inevitabilmente la difesa dei diritti umani e la risoluzione della questione curda.

    Oppositori e giornalisti turchi in carcere ma i leader atlantici non fanno una piega

    L’imbarazzante vertice NATO ad Ankara

    Questo vertice è la palese applicazione della politica del doppio standard. La NATO predica la democrazia e la libertà e poi si riunisce in Turchia dove la democrazia viene calpestata e la libertà viene pagata a caro prezzo da oppositori politici, giornalisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.
