The Take

In 2004, the National Film Board of Canada released a 90-minute documentary about workers reclaiming factories in Argentina. It's a very uplifting film that shows a socialist movement at its purest, and it's available in its entirety on Google Video. Worth a watch, not the least of which is for its cautionary aspects; it's not such a stretch of the imagination that the West - or at least the bulk of the non-rich population of the West - could find itself in a similar situation as Argentinians found themselves in, if we continue to let corporate interests rule in the public sphere.
