Synopsis
For a few years, filmmaker Isaac Isitan lived inside Brukman, an Argentinean clothing factory on the verge of bankruptcy and expropriation after a social revolution made by women workers. An epic film, The Women of Brukman tells the unique story of a cooperative formed against the background of Argentina's devastating economic collapse, working to give these women their jobs back. An example of success and persistence that created a movement of hope in Argentinean society and that became a sociological “case study”.
