The Women of Brukman

(LES FEMMES DE LA BRUKMAN, Isaac Isitan, Canada 2008, 90 min., Spanish/subtitles, Digital Projection)

Argentina’s “fabrica ocupada” phenomenon, where workers run abandoned factories where they had previously been employed, is explored in this rousing documentary about what happened at one specific suit manufacturer. The women who took over the Brukman factory have become international symbols for workers, standing as an inspiring solution to daunting economic challenges.
