I urge everyone who hasn't already seen the documentary of our times entitled "The Corporation" to do so. This film eloquently explores the fundamental collective disease (almost prion like) known as the corporation. It delves into the pilaging and plundering of non sustainable resources, the devestation of our environment and peoples, and the "entity" known as the corporation itself, as it is linked to much of the corruption and suffering of our planet. This is a very well done documentary and has won dozens of awards with its revealing message.

Please rent it or better yet get your own copy and share it with freinds. To heal the cause we must first indentify the disease, or in this case. the plague. This film does that with blazing accuracy. What I also like about this film is it echos the message that we have the power to choose, individually and collectively, how we fit into this global picture. We can choose to support the ethically irresponsible and mortally dangerous corporations or we can choose to support a new counsciousness just by what choices we make.

From the website:

"SYNOPSIS
THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.

Winner of 24 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS, 10 of them AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS including the AUDIENCE AWARD for DOCUMENTARY in WORLD CINEMA at the 2004 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL. The long-awaited DVD, available now in Australia and coming in March to North America, contains over 8 hour of additional footage.

The film is based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan. "
