The
Corporation
directed by Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar (Manufacturing
Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media)
written by Joel Bakan and Harold Crooks
starring Noam Chomsky (Manufacturing Consent:
Noam Chomsky and the Media), Michael Moore (Bowling
for Columbine)
low expectation:
Another documentary to get very excited
about. Why isn't it getting the same distribution as a Michael Moore
film or Super Size Me? I'm not sure. Maybe it attacks
too many corporations that distribute films. I have been slowly
getting into Chomsky since I saw Manufacturing Consent and find
him to be a more intelligent alternative in these forums than Michael
Moore or Morgan Spurlock. I may not understand everything he says
but he's more information, less entertainment, than the other guys.
At least our country allows for people to speak out with work like this
and hopefully it will get around to me. In the meantime, I'll have
to check out Jehane Noujaim's Control Room and Moore's Fahrenheit
911.

The Corporation is the most important new film

synopsis/press release:
One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today’s dominant institution. But history humbles dominant institutions. All have been crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history. In this complex and highly entertaining documentary, Mark Achbar, co-director of the influential and inventive MANUFACTURING CONSENT: NOAM CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA, teams up with co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer Joel Bakan to examine the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation’s increasing preeminence. Based on Bakan’s book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, the film is a timely, critical inquiry that invites CEOs, whistle-blowers, brokers, gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the 4corporation’s inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Featuring illuminating interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others, THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular rise of an institution aimed at achieving specific economic goals as it also recounts victories against this apparently invincible force. -- © Big Picture Media Corporation MMIII
