The Corporation (DVD) -- Behind Every Corporation is a Little Pathology: A Long-Time BuzzFlash Progressive Bestseller (2 DVDs, 145 Minutes, Extras)Directed by Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar
BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
"America's dominant institution gets a thorough "Frontline"-like going over in this documentary based on Joel Bakan's best-selling exposé. The film looks at corporations as legal entities and examines their manipulative business practices in interviews with C.E.O.s, whistle-blowers, and media figures such as Naomi Klein, Michael Moore, Ray Anderson, and Noam Chomsky. And, in what turns out to be a depressingly accurate observation, the filmmakers compare the behavior of corporations to that of psychopaths."
-- The New Yorker
"This is an extraordinary film about the creation of the American corporation, its legal organizational model, its global economic dominance and its psychopathic tendencies, and its incredible ambition to influence every aspect of culture in its unrelenting pursuit of profit."
Greed, political corruption, unchecked power, mass consumption, and environmental destruction are the results of the ascension of corporations that now dominate our democratic processes, the media, the quality of life, and indeed our reality.
The Corporation remarkably tells this untold story with humor, balance, and stunning visual imagery that marks it as one of the best documentaries of last year, and one of the best treatises of corporate power.
"A monster movie! Smart! Fascinating! The topic is intricate and global and [the filmmakers] address it with spiky, dogged intelligence. A dense, complicated and thought-provoking film!"
-- The New York Times
