Sheffield Indymedia is showing a series of short films about the struggles at the Argentinian Brukman textiles factory in Abbeyfield Park House, Burngreave at 1930, Wednesday 25 February. One of the film-makers will also be attending.

Sheffield Indymedia invites you to a film screening on Wenesday 25 February, when we will be showing a series of short films from Argentina about the struggles at the Brukman textile factory. We are lucky enough to have one of the filmmakers available to answer questions after the screening.

when: 1930, Wednesday 25 February 2004
where: Community Room, Abbeyfield Park House, Abbeyfield Road, Burngreave, Sheffield S4 7AT

There is no admission charge, but we will be taking a collection to cover our guest's railfare. Anything left will go towards the continuing struggles at Brukman.

A little background:

"Control Obrero" - Workers Control
"La Fabrica Es Nuestra" - The Factory is Ours
"Obreras Sin Patron" - Workers without a Boss

Since December 2001, the Brukman textile factory in Argentina has been the focus of confrontation between a strong workers' movement and the forces of capital. Following attempts to close the factory, it was occupied by the workers and production continued in the face of an increasingly violent response from their former bosses, backed by government forces. This series of short films follows the turbulent fortunes of this revolution.
