DESCRIPTION:THE CORPORATION   Presented by Christine Morrissey   East Bay Animal 
 Advocates   christine@eastbayanimaladvocates.org   925-487-4419   This 
 award-winning documentary by Mark Achbar explores the nature and 
 spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time, the corporation. 
 Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda 
 illuminates the corporation’s grip on our lives. In the mid-1800s the 
 corporation emerged as a legal “person.” Imbued with a 
 “personality” of pure self-interest, the next 100 years saw the 
 corporation’s rise to dominance. 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?” 
 Concluding its point-by-point analysis into the corporate personality, a 
 disturbing diagnosis is delivered: the institutional embodiment of 
 laissez-faire capitalism fully meets the diagnostic criteria of a 
 “psychopath.” Provokative, witty, sweepingly informative, this searing 
 film 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.
