I can hardly wait till the remaining 53% of this film is downloaded. No, I’m not being a bad netizen (although I admit to downloading some stuff sometimes) – this documentary-style film is a legal bittorrent grassroots-level distribution coming directly from the producers.
THE CORPORATION engages in a lively, critical exploration of the dominant institution of our time — its inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts, and possible futures. Case studies, anecdotes, and true confessions expose influences in both the corporate and anticorporate worlds. With dark wit, footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, the film illuminates the corporation’s grip on our lives.
THE CORPORATION asks: What are the consequences—for human beings, democracy, and the ecology—of granting immense power to a structurally amoral institution, whose overriding priority is to create wealth for its shareholders? As worldwide concern about the growth of corporate power intensifies, THE CORPORATION canvasses insiders, outsiders, radicals, and conservatives, in 40 interviews with CEOs, whistleblowers, brokers, gurus, and a corporate spy.
Winner of dozens of international film awards at Sundance (including honours from the U.S. Humane Society and Environmental Media Association), it’s somewhat EnvTechy, although not entirely so. Economics, business administration, politics, ethics, environment. Everything’s interlinked.
Might say a little more about it after the viewing.
