 Winner of the Audience Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, The 
 Corporation is an insightful, engaging and humorous exploration of this 
 very peculiar entity. 150 years ago, corporations were relatively 
 insignificant. Today, they are a dramatic and pervasive presence in all our 
 lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times 
 and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. This feature 
 documentary takes a look at the very nature of the corporation. Considered 
 a “person” under the law, filmmakers Mark Achbar (co-director of 
 Manufacturing Consent), Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan ask “What kind of 
 person is it?” And they conclude that it meets all the diagnostic 
 criteria of a psychopath. The Corporation questions the sanity of granting 
 so much power to such a person, this institution with the legal obligation 
 to serve the bottom line and no need to account for “human” values. The 
 film deftly blends interviews with newsreel footage, early TV 
 advertisements, B movies, and corporate propaganda films. It uses dramatic 
 case studies to explore the impacts the corporation has on our environment, 
 our children, our health, our media, our democracy, and even our 
 genes—and what people are doing in response.With Noam Chomsky, Peter 
 Drucker, Milton Friedman, Naomi Klein, Michael Moore as themselves. A film 
 by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan. Based on the book “The 
 Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power” by Joel Bakan.
