In Fond Memory of TDZ

In Fond Memory of TDZ

The story about privatization of the Zagreb Tobacco Factory (TDZ), moving of its facilities to Istria and occupation of its Zagreb plant by its workers in 2006 is a rare example of a direct workers’ action against the privatization that has, to a large extent, pauperized the ‘cream’ of the former state – its working class. With time distance of four years – this film preserves a fragment of Croatia’s transition period. It has been made ‘in fond memory’ of the forty-odd persons for whom the fight against the untouchable economic and political elite was the only acceptable option.
