> FRIDAY FREE FILM SCHEDULE
> 
> May 13: "The Take"
> 
> In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic
> collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous
> middle class found itself in a ghost town of abandoned
> factories and mass unemployment. In suburban Buenos
> Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walked into
> their idle factory, rolled out sleeping mats, and
> refused to leave. All they wanted was to restart the
> silent machines. But this simple act — the take — had
> the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.
> 
> Director/producer Avi Lewis (Counterspin) and
> writer/producer and renowned author Naomi Klein (No
> Logo) take viewers inside the lives of ordinary
> visionaries, as they reclaim their work, their dignity
> and their democracy.
> 
> 
> May 20: "The Corporation"
> 
> "The Corporation" examines the nature of corporations
> and why they so often engage in "the pathological
> pursuit of profit and power". The film includes forty
> interviews with corporate insiders and critics -
> including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein,
> and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies
> and strategies for change.
> 
> With us to say a few words will be special guest Ward
> Morehouse, co-founder of the advocacy group Program for
> Corporations, Law and Democracy.
