I highly recommend this documentary to list members. I saw it when it was in town for the International Film Festival, when it sold out the Riverview Theatre. People were often on the edges of their seats, and left the theatre energized.
The book by Joel Bakan is well worth reading as well. Here is the blurb: THE CORPORATION This entertaining and hard-hitting feature documentary analyzes the very nature of the corporate institution, its impacts on our planet, and what people are doing in response. Based on Joel Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power", the film features Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva, Howard Zinn and Milton Friedman and over 30 other corporate insiders and critics including The FBI's top consultant on psychopaths and one corporate spy. The film has been generating popular support from street level to the boardrooms of the Corporate Social Responsibility movement. pedaling for peace and justice in Minneapolis -- from Kingfield neighborhood -- Gary Hoover REMINDERS: 1.
