THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular
rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture,
advertising, TV news,
and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our
lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion,
the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What
kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The
Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and
critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and
Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for
change.
Winner of 24 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS, 10 of them AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS
including the AUDIENCE AWARD for DOCUMENTARY in WORLD CINEMA at the
2004 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL. The long-awaited DVD, available now in
Australia and coming in March to North America, contains over 8 hour of
additional footage.
The film is based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan.
