A special film.
The filmmakers turn what could have been dry subject matter into compelling, inspirational drama.
Their ultimate success is a classic victory for the little guy.
It's also genuinely moving to see disenfranchised individuals discovering self-determination from the hard ground up.
A stirring, idealistic documentary that examines the grass-roots cooperative movement in financially devastated Argentina, raises basic questions about economics, government and human nature.
The Take tells a compelling story of courageous, industrious people, but it begs for a second act.
The Take represents the downside of the new documentary renaissance.
