The Take: Occupy, Produce, Resist (1 hour 27 minutes) 

The Take is a Canadian documentary film released in 2004 by the wife and husband team of Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis. It tells the story of workers in Buenos Aires, Argentina who reclaim control of a closed Forja auto plant where they once worked and turn it into a worker cooperative. 

In the wake of Argentina's dramatic economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. The Forja auto plant lies dormant until its former employees take action. They're part of a daring new movement of workers who are occupying bankrupt businesses and creating jobs in the ruins of the failed system. Could these pioneers of cooperative ownership be a model for rebuilding Argentina's economy?

Delicious organic vegetarian curries each week from Vegie Vortex or Shanti Baba (who also alternate doing the curries at Beach and Barnicott on Wednesdays), plus hot and cold drinks.
