this movie claim and that the situation it present the viewer with could occur anywhere in the world and that the takeover of closed factory by their worker be a recipe against the negative effect of world wide globalization . the first assertion be clearly wrong . argentina be a specific place with a specific history . it industry be create to serve the home market . peron and later the peronist power base be the industrial worker whose union be bring into line with strong arm tactic . industry have always be a highly politicize affair in that country and it be protect from international competition for a very long time . therefore nobody invest in the renewal of machinery and in the 1980s they still produce the ford falcon model of the 1950s ( maybe they still do . ) . pepole could always be sure that the export of agricultural produce would support an industry which be neither very productive nor competitive . i think oil produce venezuela and iran be in a similar position today ( in the way politics and economics and ideology be mixed together ) . president menem incidentally a peronist bring to power a the champion of the little man lift the protective shield and bring to light the frailty of the legal as well a the economical and social system of argentina . no wonder many business collapse and leave huge debt behind . it defy belief that the adversary of globalization just think that by put the lid back on and return to a protected market and everything will be well . this would neither create fairer condition nor would it secure more equality or welfare for the future . for the second assertion the movie surprise with a disconcert lack of proof . very little be explain . how do these enterprise pay for raw material . where be their market . how do they find customer . do they make a profit . most of these question be not even address although they be essential if the model should work . and as much a one can understand the outrage of see people willing to work be force from their place of employment and there be some legal issue which should have be consider . if i understand it right and the worker take the bankrupt factory lock and stock and barrel and leave the accumulated debt to who . mustn not there be some loser around somewhere . isn not this part of the time hone argentine tradition of eat the cake before have it . i regret to say that i find this movie overly romantic and simplistic . it fail to deliver what it promise to do at the outset .
