Another must-see: The Take -- A film by Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein:
"In the wake of Argentina's spectacular economic collapse in 2001, Latin America's most prosperous middle class finds itself in a ghost town of abandoned factories and mass unemployment. In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act -- the take -- has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head."

I saw The Take last night. I give it a "B". Fairly compelling, decent amount of info, pretty well filmed and concieved. Not fantastic.
The most solid political docs for this year are still Fog of War, The Hunting of the Presidentm and Uncovered.
