Co-Ops Work

Synopsis: Features co-ops in Ireland involved in a broad range of activities from community publishing to shoe making. The workers speak for themselves and explain how they set up their co-op businesses, the problems they faced and how they dealt with them. The video is in 3 parts: part 1 deals with with ‘phoenix’ co-ops which arose when factories closed; part 2 looks at young people and co-ops (can co-ops create jobs?) and part 3 looks at some new co-op experiments.
