Rating: 4/5 -- Sua parcialidade óbvia compromete um pouco a credibilidade, mas, no geral, o filme traça um painel revoltante sobre os efeitos nocivos da política econômica imposta pelo FMI.

Rating: 4/5 -- The Take plays out like a Frank Capra movie with the 'little people' taking on corrupt and indifferent officials. In the process the film strikes a strong blow for the dignity of labor and introduces an array of brave individuals. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- An extraordinarily stirring film that should resonate even with the fairly internationally isolated American audience. Full Review

Product Description:

Written by Naomi Klein and directed by outspoken Canadian journalist Avi Lewis, this powerful documentary tells the story of 30 recently laid-off industrial workers in Buenos Aires who move into their old factory to protest its closing, eventually taking on their bosses, the banks, and the entire corrupt system of global economics.
