    Saturday 22 October at 4pm - The Take - Film Screening and Presentation on Workers' Control by Rob Lyon (Hands off Venezuela)

    In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. 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 love cultural cinema. They have a cinema in the town hall that shows forign or art films that I would otherwise never hear of, it's often much more interesting that the crap that comes out of hollywood.

You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"
