The Corporation (2003)
The Corporation is a 2003 documentary movie directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott, with a running time of 2h 25m. It stars Jane Akre, Ray Anderson and Maude Barlow.
Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
