Applied Magnetics

The fight of the Portuguese workers of the company Applied Magnetics against the American employers, who resourced to the Ministry of Labour after not feeling vindicated by their requests for better working and living conditions. After an attempt of reconversion of the factory and a contact with the embassies of other socialist countries, they decide to deliver the facilities to GNR (Portuguese Nacional Republican Guard), due to the lack of perspectives, and find other jobs. The film is composed by images of interviews to women workers and abandoned facilites; and theatrical representations about the process of their struggle.
