The Take is a political thriller that follows Argentina's radical new movement of occupied businesses: groups of workers who are claiming the country's bankrupt workplaces and running them without bosses.

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 restart the silent machines. But this simple act - The Take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

Link TV's special presentation of this provocative film by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis includes an interview with Amy Goodman, host of the award-winning news program Democracy Now! seen daily on Link TV. Goodman notes similarities between the struggles of Argentine workers and a successful sit-in strike by employees of a Chicago windows and doors factory.
