Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
A timely, critical inquiry, The Corporation invites players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation's inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures.
Case studies, anecdotes and true confessions reveal behind-the-scenes tensions and influences in several corporate and anti-corporate dramas. Each illuminates an aspect of the corporation's complex character.
Starring seven CEOs, three Vice Presidents, two whistle-blowers, one broker, one spy and one really big mess. Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman and Vandana Shiva as themselves. Special guest star: the FBI's top consultant on psychopaths.
