About the Film
WINNER OF 26 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS! 10 Audience Choice Awards including the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
Provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" The Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.
"AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING EXTRAS, there is basically another 6-hour (!) documentary included." MovieFreak
Along with the groundbreaking 145-minute theatrical version of the film, the two-disc DVD has eight hours of never-before-seen footage. In addition to two commentary tracks, deleted scenes, and Q's-and-A's, 165 new clips and updates are sorted "by person" and "by topic." Get the details you want to know on the issues you care about. Then, check out the web links for follow-up research and action.
THE CORPORATION is Canada's most successful documentary... EVER!
The film is based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan.

Yes mind-blowing, eye-opening, educational, well done, I can't say enough good things about this film. I bought it to watch a few times (and to support the filmmakers) because there is so much to absorb and consider.

This was rather mind-blowing for me in the early days of learning the nature of corporation. Highly recommended!

Btw Teresa, got me some more corporation-related stuff in a discussion I started quite a while back, if you're interested: Eliminating Spin at Source by Redesigning Corporation at Greenwashing group.
