> THE CORPORATION is resonating with audiences all over the world. Analyzing
the
> very nature of the corporate institution, its impacts on our planet, and
what
> people are doing in response, filmmakers Mark Achbar (co-director of
> MANUFACTURING CONSENT), Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan provide a darkly
> amusing account of the institution's evolution as a legal "person," and a
> powerful indictment of the roots of corporate power.
>
> Based on Joel Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of
> Profit and Power", the film has been generating popular support from the
> grassroots street level to the boardrooms of the Corporate Social
> Responsibility movement.
>
> Featuring interviews with CEO's and top-level executives from some of the
> World's largest corporations and critical thinkers including Michael
Moore,
> Noam Chomsky, Peter Drucker, Milton Friedman, Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn,
> Vandana Shiva, Steve Wilson and Jane Akre.
