http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379225/<br></a></p><p><cite>The Corporation</cite> explores the nature and spectacular rise
of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture,
advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the
corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a 'person'
to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the
psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking,
witty, sweepingly informative, <cite>The Corporation</cite> includes
forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton
Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true
confessions, case studies and strategies for change.<br><br>In <cite>The Corporation</cite>,
case studies, anecdotes and true confessions reveal behind-the-scenes
tensions and influences in several corporate and anti-corporate dramas.
Each illuminates an aspect of the corporation's complex character.<br><br>Among
the 40 interview subjects are CEOs and top-level executives from a
range of industries: oil, pharmaceutical, computer, tire,
manufacturing, public relations, branding, advertising and undercover
marketing; in addition, a Nobel-prize winning economist, the first
management guru, a corporate spy, and a range of academics, critics,
historians and thinkers are interviewed.<br><br>The film is based on the book <cite>The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power</cite> by Joel Bakan.</p><p><span class="urlextern">
