Plot:
In the middle of an economic crisis, in the shadow of Wall Street, an institution that represents a less well-known American tradition is booming. The Park Slope Food Coop: a cooperative supermarket where all 16,000 members work 3 hours per months to earn the right to buy the best food in New York at incredibly low prices. The success of this cooperative is a bad new for capitalism and aggro-alimentary business, and an opportunity to change the food production and distribution systems. We will see what has become of the Park Slope Food Coop, now a well-rooted institution in the heart of Brooklyn: the way it functions, its hundreds of rules, the diversity and eccentricity of its members. We'll see how the culture that has been created at the coop gives its members daily visceral lessons in democracy, how this could represent a potential change in mentality for Americans faced with increasingly difficult economic times.

Just a few notes on this.
The fact that the film Food Coop documenting the Park Slope Food Coop (established 1973) has four subtitled languages I found significant right at first viewing it. Many of these uploads have international interest.
I'm filesharing this as a template: a way to get ideas for what a food co-op can be. It's a mature operation and quite large with a client base that volunteers time as part of their membership.
Years ago during the sustainability craze I suggested to some teachers at the local university extension that, like stagecraft, running a food market as a teaching practicum staffed by student workers could be done for student credit. No one responded. The idea is still good.
In "Food Co-op" there are unique features developed over time: like having walkers to get women and others home with an escort on the streets of NYC. This and other ideas in Food Co-op make it a worthwhile viewing experience:
a template for what can be done by people with incentive to do it. This is shown in the brief extras which show a Park Slope style food coop established in France.
Like every other upload in this group, I suggest that the torrent be a way for schools and libraries to get Food Co-op and make it part of the discussion. It's a template. It's a beginning.
