One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively
insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our
lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and
places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. But history humbles
dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some
new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history. In this
complex and highly entertaining documentary, Mark Achbar, co-director of the
influential and inventive MANUFACTURING CONSENT: NOAM CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA,
teams up with co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer Joel Bakan to examine the
far-reaching repercussions of the corporation’s increasing preeminence. Based
on Bakan’s book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power,
the film is a timely, critical inquiry that invites CEOs, whistle-blowers,
brokers, gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging
quest to reveal the 4corporation’s inner workings, curious history, controversial
impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam
Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others, THE CORPORATION charts the
spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as
it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force. |
