ARGENTINA: HOPE IN HARD TIMES (74 minutes, Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young, 2005)

Seattle filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young document creative and inspiring grassroots effort to rebuild communities in the aftermath of Argentina’s 2001 economic collapse. Join in the processions and protests, attend street-corner neighborhood assemblies, visit workers’ cooperatives and urban gardens, and take a close-up look at Argentines who are picking up the pieces of their devastated economy and creating new possibilities for the future. Filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A.

Presented by Henry Art Gallery, Community Alliance for Global Justice, Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies, and Wallingford Neighbors for Peace and Justice.
