In the 90s, Argentina embraced economic globalization, but instead of making everyone rich, the economy collapsed.  Businesses failed, unemployment soared, the government was paralyzed -  until ordinary people from all walks of life began to push their country in a new direction.  Several years later, what has become of this outpouring of grass-roots energy?  Have there been fundamental changes, or is it once again back to business as usual?

 

From the producers of Argentina-Hope in Hard Times, this new film visits worker-run factories and self-organized communities,  and hears from journalists, economists, and unemployed workers, to provide an inside view of Argentina in the midst of transformation, as people re-invent their society to enable a better life for all.

 

 

Text Box: “Combining colorful footage of the experiences of ordinary Argentines with insightful interviews from Argentine professors, journalists and civil society leaders, this film provides a timely follow-up to the experimentation and empowerment that arose out of Argentina’s recent crises.”

Dr. Robert Andolina, 
International Studies, Seattle University 


“A lovely immersion in the ongoing struggles in Argentina….The combination of intellectuals and people at the grassroots working for change makes the issues clear and compelling.” 

Sarah van Gelder, Executive Editor, 
YES! magazine


“Argentina-Turning Around undertakes the rare and important task of re-visiting and re-examining social change once the headlines have faded.  This well crafted film captures the hard won insight and wisdom of workers and movement leaders, who have lived and led Argentina’s struggle to challenge 
the dominant economic development paradigm.” 

Tanya Dawkins, Founder/Director,  
Global Local Links Project  


“A remarkable story of how a crisis in    today’s global society can provide an opening for new models of work, politics, ownership, and human and community development. The film shows a powerful transition in Argentine society through  the voices of those who experienced it.” 
Dan Swinney, Director,                          Center for Labor and Community Research
