There are a lot of good documentaries on this topic. If you are in Argentina and can understand Spanish you will be able to find many of these at street fairs being sold by political organizations. In San Telmo there is a booth on Sundays around Defensa and Pasaje that has the FUC film school (between Independencia and EEUU)
The Take (la Toma) this is actually in English by Naomi Klein. (I hung out with her interns when she was filming here and met here, so I need to declare any potential conflict of interest) www.thetake.org/
I was not very impressed by "The Take". It does a good job appealing to the emotional side of the audience and showing some very likable underdogs. We all want to root for the underdogs. But it pains a very simplistic view of the crisis, in which globalization and the capitalists are the root of all evil. The people who made the movie had plenty of good intentions, but had a severe lacking of understanding of how economics and politics work, specially in Argentina. You can pinpoint the problem a mile away the moment someone throws the term "neoliberal" and Argentina within the same phrase.
