The Corporation

Interrogating a Modern Institution

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, 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. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order. The Corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history.

This complex, exhaustive and highly entertaining documentary features illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others, THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force.

Winner of the Audience Award for World Cinema - Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.

"A leisurely, never boring, grimly amusing, and not entirely hopeless disquisition on the contemporary world's 'dominant institution.'" - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
