Over one hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a pervasive presence in all our lives. Based on Joel Bakan’s international bestseller The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, this 26-award-winning documentary directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott explores the corporation’s inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts, and possible futures. Working from the strange legal fiction that makes a corporation a legal person, the filmmakers ask: “What kind of person?” Featuring some of the world's top CEOs and activists this iconic film maps out corporate power, while including important victories against this apparently invincible force.
