              A Mapuche family has been forced off the land they were occupying in the province of Chabut, Patagonia, through a court injunction initiated by the Benetton Group. As a result of this experience the Mapuche people will reveal that they are still very much alive and willing to fight for their culture and traditional rights. This video is also an information tool to activate an international campaign against the Italian multinational, which owns 900,000 hectares of land in Argentina, making it the major landowner in what was once known as "the breadbasket of the world". The first part of a more extensive work in progress.

              A video report on the occupation of lands by the Movimiento de Trabajadores Desocupados (Unemployed Workers Movement) on the 26th of June in La Matanza, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The story helps us to understand the methods of self-organisation used by unemployed workers from necessity, and how direct action can lead to a brutal confrontation with law enforcement forces. It also offers proposals for other ways to think about property, outside of the capitalist society.

              The 'Cartoneros', an army of the shadows - more than 100,000 strong -who assemble each night to scavenge the city's street and rubbish dumps for cardboard to sell for a pittance. These people commute to their place of work like foraging animals, herding themselves onto the 'White Train' which rattles through the suburbs of Buenos Aires in the battered shells of carriages devoid of doors, windows, seating or lights.
