The Corporation on tonight SBS at 8.30pm

DOCUMENTARY SERIES: THE CORPORATION

"The Pathology of Commerce - A fascinating insight into the power of corporations, which today have more power and influence than individual governments. Directed by Mark Achbar, this three-episode series critically investigates how corporations conduct their business, and how it impacts on everyone. This program looks at the history of corporations and criticises the impact they are claimed to have on the environment and people in Third World countries, how they flout the law while exercising enormous political influence and how they pollute the rivers and air and affect what we eat, our health etc. Various speakers such as Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Milton Friedman, Michael Moore and others give their views of corporations.
