Corporations and Human Rights Film Series

Please join us for the third movie in Amnesty's 'Corporations & Human 
Rightsseries' looking at the threat corporations pose to human rights.

"In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk
into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All 
they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - the 
take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head. Armed 
only with slingshots and an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the 
workers face off against the bosses, bankers and a whole system that 
sees their beloved factories as nothing more than scrap metal for sale."

Dinner will be provided - panel to follow movie.
