The Corporation - upcoming film

A film by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan

"From the Director of Manufacturing Consent. Starring 7 CEO's, 3 VIPS, 2 whistleblowers, 1 broker, 1 spy and 1 really big mess. With Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein and Milton Friedman. Special Guest Star: The FBI's top consultant on psychopaths" (Valhalla)

"THE CORPORATION is resonating with audiences all over the world. The feature documentary analyzes the very nature of the corporate institution, its impacts on our planet, and what people are doing in response. Based on Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power", the film has been generating popular support from street level to the boardrooms of the Corporate Social Responsibility movement."
