One hundred and fifty years ago, the Corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today it is THE dominant institution. Inspired by the Joel Bakan book of the same name, this documentary looks at the history of the Corporation, where it is today, and what it’s traits are.
Featuring interviews from some of the top CEOs, Vice Presidents, Whistleblowers, Brokers and an Industrial Spy, along with critics such as Naom Chomsky, Michael Moore and Naomi Klein, The Corporation is both entertaining and informative.
It’s also quite scary.
Some of the things dug up are quite disturbing. For one, apparently Coke invented Fanta so they could still make money out of Nazi Germany, and IBM supplied the computers (you know, the type that used punched cardboard) to the Nazis to help run the Concentration Camps.
This is a documentary that will change your view of big business, or, if you’re like me, further re-enforce your cynicism of them.
The Corporation is due to be released on DVD on the 16th March.
