One night, a group of workers realises that the administration is stealing machines and raw materials from their own factory. As they organize to survey the equipment and block the relocation of production, they are forced to stand at their posts with no work to do, as a form of retaliation, while negotiations over general lay-offs take place. The pressure leads to a breakdown of the workers along with the world around them.

In the province of Neuquén, in Argentine Patagonia, workers at the Zanon ceramics factory opposed their employer's layoff plan, which included laying off more than half of their workforce to avoid permanent closure due to the crisis. In October 2001, the workers took over the factory and have since continued production without a boss. They thus demonstrated that it is possible, in times of crisis, to offer work to others and contribute to the continued solidarity of society when the State fails to provide solutions.

The situation in Bolivia is a microcosm of the dramatic tensions caused by drug production and consumption. On one side, the traffickers and politicians of course, but also the peasants, ex-miners, unemployed for whom the drug economy is the only rampart against starvation and absolute misery, on the other, the technicians, aid workers and foreign experts who are attempting to persuade the peasants to drop drug production. North-South relations in a nutshell.

The Mapuce are a native people of Patagonia, repository of a very ancient oral culture, for whom the territory is not an "attribute", but a constitutive element of their identity. In this sense, they fight for the Argentine State to respect the National Constitution of 1994 that "guarantees the possession of the lands that [the native peoples of the country] traditionally occupy."
