April 28, 2008: The TakeSays NY Times film critic Stephen Holden: The Forja auto plant, the Zanon ceramics factory, and the Brukman garment factory are three companies that were abandoned by their owners after the economic collapse. As you watch their dismissed workers organize and struggle for legal recognition, you root for the success of the nascent Movement of Recovered Companies, as it's called. And at the end of the film, the signs of further growth seem encouraging. The unanswered question that hangs over the documentary is: how far can this movement go? After watching the film, your outlook will depend on the degree of your belief in humanity and your familiarity with history. Whatever happens, the movement still faces an uphill battle."
