EARLY ON IN Canadian doc The Take – written by No Logo author Naomi Klein and directed by fellow activist Avi Lewis – an uppity news personality berates Klein for not presenting any viable alternatives to the International Monetary Fund. What follows considers a single corner of the globalization debate but keeps an eye on the big picture, never losing sight of the belligerent newscaster's challenge. Lewis and Klein's focus is Argentina; the once-prosperous nation is presented as a textbook case of capitalism gone berserk. Voice-over narration, news footage, and personal testimony all point to a country in crisis, made downtrodden by the model of multinational economics that leaves jobs and equity by the wayside. After many of the country's factory owners simply abandon ship during an economic downslide, disenfranchised workers respond by forming cooperatives to occupy the factories and run them on equitable terms. The struggle isn't without its hurdles, and, indeed, the IMF's Goliath looms large over the proceedings, but The Take is stirring in its insistence that another world is possible. Red Vic.
