FASINPAT - Fábrica sin patrón. [Factory Without Bosses] 67 min.

Zanon's owner, an Italian who began doing business during the last military dictatorship and continued for all democratic governments, decided to leave out of work more than half of its employees on the grounds of the country's crisis. Under its terms, or drastically reducing staff or closing the factory. In October 2001, the Zanon workers took the decision to continue producing without the bosses. The economic results were successful (sales growth, creation of new jobs) and political scope of what seemed like an adventure, more extensive than one might think. Incalcaterra records the organization of the workers inside the factory and the evolution of the legal dispute out of it. The self does not seem a bad idea after all.
