The corporation

Title:

The corporation

Summary:

Explore the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution in 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 ti?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, the movie 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.
