THE CORPORATION
A Film by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott & Joel Bakan


Winner of 22 awards including AUDIENCE AWARDS for DOCUMENTARY in WORLD
CINEMA at the 2004 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL and for BEST DOCUMENTARY at the
recent Sydney Film Festival.
THE CORPORATION is resonating with audiences all over the world. Analyzing
the very nature of the corporate institution, its impacts on our planet, and
what people are doing in response, filmmakers Mark Achbar (co-director of
MANUFACTURING CONSENT), Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan provide a darkly
amusing account of the institution's evolution as a legal "person," and a
powerful indictment of the roots of corporate power.


Based on Joel Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of
Profit and Power", the film has been generating popular support from the
grassroots street level to the boardrooms of the Corporate Social
Responsibility movement.


Featuring interviews with CEO's and top-level executives from some of the
world‚s largest corporations and critical thinkers including Michael Moore,
Noam Chomsky, Peter Drucker, Milton Friedman, Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn,
Vandana Shiva, Steve Wilson and Jane Akre.
