I’m looking into running an online film club on a regular basis to share and enjoy films together which are connected to co-operation and worker control. I haven’t worked out all the logistics yet but as I figure it out it would be great to build up a list of things we might screen! All suggestions welcome. ---

There’s a recent 4-part documentary series about Mutual Aid groups in the USA. I thought the first one was great, and very well produced: [Chapter 1: Fire | The Elements of Mutual Aid | English Subs - kolektiva.media](https://kolektiva.media/w/k4X33gx2qtscBW9VMAfZ9R) ---

The Take about the Recuperadas in Argentina was a good watch [https://www.thetake.org/](https://www.thetake.org/) Last year there was a screening of a film about The Quay Co-op in Cork which set out its radical roots. ---

Thanks for these suggestions! Keep them coming, I’m looking into screening rights to get some lined up. ---

Focused on housing co-ops rather than worker co-ops but a wonderful film that goes deep into co-operative politics and culture: > **[At Home In Utopia](https://www.newday.com/films/at-home-in-utopia)** Cath Muller had a copy of the DVD a few years ago - it might still be around. New Day Films (a coop) is a brilliant source of radical films and might well have some about worker co-ops. Also, check out Sands Films and see what they’ve got > **[Sands Films Studio Home page](https://www.sandsfilms.co.uk/)** > > Home page of Sands Films Studio web site in London UK, including Sands Films Music Room and Sands Films Cinema Club, Costume hire and stage rental. ---

“The Food Co-op” is a real banger - a warm, amusing, character-led - and inspiring - feature documentary about the incredible Park Slope Food Co-op in Brooklyn, with 7000 members. ---

Laugh or cry? I laughed but I am a sick boy. There is some seriously nasty violence in this story of peace loving hippies attacking each other. Some of the “co-ops” turned out to be benevolent dictatorships, until the benevolence was stripped away…I think it was @scott who put me onto this one https://player.vimeo.com/video/742731133?app_id=122963 ---

Don’t think they were all hippies! If I recall the ‘wars’ were initiated by stalinists in the SNCC. Not all food coopers are peace and love! ---

Some of those groups are still causing problems. One London housing co-op has been quietly getting rid of all the older people, and this has been directly caused by people from some of the “authoritarian left” groups. ☹
