Summary:

Explores Argentina's 2001 economic collapse, where a prosperous middle-class economy was destroyed, the chaos that followed, and the impact on the lives of ordinary workers. Follows 30 unemployed workers, who stage a protest against their bosses, their government, and economic globalization by occupying their closed factory; there they take back their jobs, their dignity, and refuse to leave.
