“THE CORPORATION is a monster movie! Smart!
Fascinating!
The topic is intricate and global and (the filmmakers)
address
it with spiky, dogged intelligence.
A dense, complicated and thought-provoking
film!”
--A.O. Scott, NY Times
Directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott
Written by Joel Bakan
CANADA, 2003
145 MINUTES
ZEITGEIST FILMS
Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, No Logo author Naomi Klein and Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman take on the multi-national corporation, with wit and erudition. Without an elected head of state or allegiance to a particular nation, language or culture - the corporation is an institution of enormous power and influence that, in the words of this compulsively watchable, surprisingly entertaining movie, “creates great wealth, but causes enormous and often hidden harms.” Co-directed by Mark Achbar (MANUFACTURING CONSENT: NOAM CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA), and based on Joel Bakan’s The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, the film analyzes the curious history, inner workings and controversial impact of corporations upon world affairs, the environment, the gap between the world’s rich and its poor and the privatization of natural resources.
