Heart of the Factory (129 min.) 2008 Argentina
By Virna Molina and Ernesto Ardito
The Ceramic Zanon - Fasinpat workers work in one of the most important and largest ceramic factories of South America. As a result of the owners plan to close it, the workers occupied the factory and are now running the factory themselves under workers control without bosses or owners. New threats emerged as they struggle against a political and economic system that tries to crush them and their control of the factory.
