Take That!

The Take, a documentary on autonomous worker’s collectives in Argentina by Naomi Klein (author of No Logo) and Avi Lewis (former host of the late CBC show Counterspin), is going to have its local première next Wednesday as part of a series of fundraising screenings. Even better, the filmmakers will be in attendance to take questions after the show. I can hardly wait – I first heard about this project in an interview Klein gave two years ago, and have been eagerly anticipating it ever since. It will also be released to theatres soon, and given how well documentaries have been doing at the box office lately (Michael Moore’s primary contribution to the cinematic arts) it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
