Film: On the Art of War
Milan, August 2009. Four workers climb a 20 meter high gantry crane inside the hangar of the INNSE, the last active factory in Milan. They threaten to throw themselves down to stop the dismantling of the machineries and the closure of the factory they work in. The hangar is surrounded by dozens of policemen and supporters from all over Italy and Europe. The four workers resist for 8 days at 40° in only a few square meters. They resist because they have a clear strategy and an organized army. They know their territory and their enemy. It is not a simple struggle: there are clear rules, it is a workable paradigm for all forms of struggle.
