Pt.1. Examines the pathological self-interest of the modern corporation. "In the mid-1800s the corporation won the status of a legal "person." Imbued with a "personality" of pure self-interest, the next 100 years saw its rise to dominance, made possible by a single-minded drive for profit. The corporation created unprecedented wealth, but at what cost? The remorseless rationale of "externalities"-- the effects of corporate activity on the physical world and people "external" to it-- is responsible for countless cases of illness, death, poverty, pollution, exploitation and lies. After point-by-point analysis. The corporation delivers a disturbing diagnosis: the institutional embodiment of laissez-faire capitalism fully meets the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath."--Container.
Documentary examines the nature, evolution, impact and possible futures of the modern business corporation.
pt.3. Examines how corporations cut deals with any style of government - from Nazi Germany to despotic states today - that allow or even encourage sweatshops, as long as sales go up. "Documents the corporation's indifference to democracy over the last century, in many areas of the world. Detailed are the high stakes struggles facing grass roots movements as they battle with this dominant force of our time. From American corporations such as IBM, General Motors, Ford and Coke working with and profiting from Nazi Germany to present day Bechtel attempting to privatize Bolivia's water system, the patterns are revealed. What is inspiring is the victories of small, persistent voices growing to a unified roar, powerful enough to stop huge corporate machines as they attempt to take away power and choices form not only individuals and communities but in fact, from governments. Presented are some excellent examples of positive activism; the character revocation movement took on oil giant Unocal; sweatshop activists moved labor standards; seed activists beat corporate patents; in Pennsylvania, two cities decreed that corporations can no longer carry on as a person and Bolivians defeated Bechtel corporation's attempt to privatize their water system."--Container.
Documental
A timely, critical inquiry, The Corporation invites players, pawns and pundits on a graphic and engaging quest to reveal the corporation's inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Case studies, anecdotes and true confessions reveal behind-the-scenes tensions and influences in several corporate and anti-corporate dramas. Each illuminates an aspect of the corporation's complex character. Starring 7 CEOs, 3 Vice Presidents, 2 whistleblowers, 1 broker, 1 spy and 1 really big mess! Special guest star: the FBI's top consultant on psychopath.
Attraverso una serie di interviste ai più importanti esponenti del business mondiale, rappresenta una visione super partes sulle multinazionali e sulle loro strategie di prodotto, di comunicazione e, soprattutto, di ethic management (ad es. devolvere quote degli introiti a cause quali la preservazione della foresta amazzonica). Il documentario, strutturato in una prima parte storica e una seconda di testimonianze, è diviso in capitoli che affrontano teorie e argomenti diversi, analizza il comportamento delle multinazionali alla stregua di un essere umano, da un punto di vista psichiatrico evidenziandone le psicosi. The corporation non impone le sue convinzioni, ma lascia lo spettatore pensare e costituire una propria coscienza sull'argomento. Come dichiarato da Mark Achbar, "la più grande soddisfazione per noi sarebbe sapere che chi ha visto il film, pensasse: oggi ho imparato qualcosa"

The Corporation delves into the mindset and character of corporate America. This documentary comes to us from Mark Achbar (Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media), Jennifer Abbott (A Cow at My Table), and Joel Bakan, whose book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power serves as the basis for the film. Through interviews with left-wing staples such as Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore; company CEOs from Pfizer, Goodyear, and Royal Dutch Shell; activists and whistleblowers; and highlighting specific cases of corporate deception, the three-hour mini-series paints a somewhat unflattering picture of multinationals. In the first program, The Pathology of Commerce, filmmakers examine the pathological self-interest of the modern corporation. Planet Inc. looks at the scope of commerce and the sophisticated, even covert, techniques marketers use to get their brands into our homes. The final program, Reckoning, examines how corporations cut deals with any style of government - from Nazi Germany to despotic states today - that allow or even encourage sweatshops, as long as sales go up.

Examines the phenomena of the corporation. The rise of corporations over the last 150 years to the point where today they are the dominant global institutions is examined, as are the mechanisms which contributed to this rise. The nature, impacts and possible future of corporations is regard to the world they exist are discussed at length. Considerable focus is given to the problems inherent in the capitalist system and the ways in which corporations, the primary benificiaries and driving force behind this system, are flawed in a way that is both damaging and hard to correct. Problems including the historical legal basis for corporations' focus on profit above all else, and their collective amorality, are linked to the damage done to the world's societies and environment by this system. Links are discussed between the pursuit of profit and the support of tyrannical governments. The utilization and sometimes even promotion of disasters and wars is shown to have motives driven by corporate profit. The way in which the corporate world engages in propaganda is discussed, from overt and covert advertising to controlling information dissemination through corporate linked or dependant media outlets. The move to patent gene sequences and other organic phenomena is also examined. Opposition and resistance to the corporate domination of people's lives is extensively discussed, and propositions for how corporations can be more accountable, responsible and sustainable in the future are aired.

"Il y a 150 ans, l'entreprise était une entité relativement insignifiante. Aujourd'hui, ce documentaire en trois épisodes fait la preuve qu'elle est devenue une "personne" dominante et dangereuse. La course au profit la conduit à adopter un comportement volontairement non responsable. Qu'importe si elle exploite les enfants, détruit des écosystèmes ou diffuse des propos mensongers car ces actes illégaux sont souvent commis en toute impunité sous les yeux du gouvernement en place! Pour mettre en évidence leur dysfonctionnement, La Corporation fait un parallèle provocant et inquiétant entre le comportement de la grande entreprise et les pathologies du psychopathe."--Conteneur.

Circa 150 anni fa le 'corporation', cioè le società per azioni, erano un'entità tutto sommato insignificante, mentre oggi sono diventate una presenza forte e prepotente nelle nostre esistenze, come lo sono stati la Chiesa, la Monarchia e il partito comunista in alcuni luoghi e in alcune contingenze storiche. La storia ha però avuto ragione su quelle istituzioni dominanti. Ora tocca alla 'corporation' affrontare la sfida. Il documentario indaga sulle ripercussioni a lungo termine del fenomeno, ponendo domande sulla storia di questa istituzione, sui possibili impatti con il mondo, sulle possibilità future e propone interviste, tra gli altri, a Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore e Howard Zinn.

Documentales
Corporation
A finales del siglo XIX, el capitalismo inventó un instrumento nuevo: la sociedad anónima. Tan eficaz fue la S. A., que hoy es tan dominante en la sociedad como lo fueron, en otros tiempos, la Iglesia, la Monarquía o el Partido Comunista. El hecho es que la mayoría de las personas no es consciente de la función y del poder de un instrumento tan ubicuo. De ahí que este documental sea muy oportuno. El invento fue simple: equiparar legalmente una S.A. a una persona. Ahora los realizadores se preguntan: ¿qué tipo de persona es? Y con el manual de psiquiatría en la mano demuestran que el individuo básico del capitalismo moderno actúa como un psicópata. No es una broma, es un análisis lúcido y serio. Muestra las causas del mal funcionamiento del capitalismo moderno, medido en desgaste humano y ecológico en lugar de una pura eficacia financiera.

Partant du fait que, selon la loi américaine, une entreprise a les mêmes droits qu'un individu, les réalisateurs tracent, avec l'aide de divers intervenants (des spécialistes du Fraser Institute, le linguiste Noam Chomsky, le gourou des gestionnaires Peter Drucker, l'auteure Naomi Klein, l'économiste Milton Friedman, le documentariste Michael Moore, etc.) le portrait des multinationales qui dominent le monde, comme s'il s'agissait d'analyser le profil psychologique d'une personne. Ils s'ingénient ainsi à démontrer les liens entre certains géants de l'industrie, mûs par leur quête absolue de profits, et les grands bouleversements politiques, sociaux et écologiques qui se manifestent par un consumérisme abusif, l'exploitation des travailleurs, la pollution industrielle et la paupérisation de la planète.

Pathological pursuit of profit and power
The Corporation
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. Part 1 - 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. Part 2 - Things considered precious, vulnerable, sacred, or important for the public interest once had protective boundaries. However, this started to change in the 1600s when the enclosure movement began fencing public grazing lands so they could be privately owned and exploited. Oceans and airspace came next. Today every molecule on the planet is up for grabs, corporations own whole towns, patents on plants, animals, our DNA, even the song Happy Birthday. When they own everything, who will stand for the public good? Corporations invest billions to shape public and political opinion. Corporate-produced messages reach all of us dozens of times a day. As one executive states, You can manipulate consumers into wanting, and therefore buying your products. It's a game. Part 3 - Democracy is a value the corporation doesn't understand. Corporations have often tried to undo democracy if it is an obstacle to profit. In 1934, a business-backed plot tried to install a military dictator in the White House. It failed thanks to one honest man. Corporations will take advantage of democracy's absence too. One shocking story is the cozy relationship between IBM and Nazi Germany. Corporations are increasingly challenged, like when the charter revocation movement took on oil giant Unocal; sweatshop activists moved labour standards, seed activists beat corporate patents and Bolivians defeated the Bechtel corporation's attempt to privatise their water system. Will people regain control over the corporation? With cautious optimism, we are invited to reconsider our relationship with the dominant institution of our time.
The film examines the far-reaching repercussions of the corporation's increasing prominence and 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 corporation's inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures. Features interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Howard Zinn and many others.

Pt.2. Looks at the scope of commerce and the sophisticated, even covert, techniques marketers use to get their brands into our homes. "In the 1600s, the enclosure movement fenced public grazing lands so they could be privately owned. Today, every molecule on the planet is up for grabs. This is good for corporations that lack inherent limits on what, who, or how much they might exploit. Even disasters can be profitable. As the twin towers collapsed, gold traders doubled their clients' money. A new target is very young children. The ad industry's "Nag Factor" study shocked child psychiatrists when it exposed premeditated manipulation of not just kids, but infants. Corporations own the song "Happy birthday"; patents on plants and animals; even your next disease. When they own everything, who will stand for the public good?"--Container.
"The Corporation charts the spectacular rise of the corporation as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our everyday lives. With a deft mix of humor, visual panache and seriousness, this documentary is a timely, entertaining critique of global conglomerates."
Thought-provoking political documentary by Canadian filmmakers Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar. In the mid-19th century, American corporations began to be legally recognised as individuals, a move that has given them unprecedented rights. In collaboration with novelist Joel Bakan, the filmmakers pose the question: if a corporation was a person, what sort of person would it be? Applying psychiatric principles and social research, they come to the conclusion that this 'person' would be a power-hungry, egocentric and highly destructive psychopath. The film won Best Documentary World Cinema Audience Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

The corporation : [based on the book by Joel Bakan "The Corporation"]
In this acclaimed documentary, Noam Chomksy and the Media, 40 corporate insiders and critics, explore the nature and spectacular rise of the most pervasive institution of our time. Combining analysis with footage from advertising, television news and industrial films, The Corporation is an entertaining and provocative look at the inner workings, curious history, controversial impacts and possible futures of the modern business corporation.
The Corporation, Canada's most successful documentary in history, is the winner of 26 international awards and 10 Audience Choice Awards including the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. The film charts the development of the corporation as a legal entity from its genesis to unprecedented legal protection stemming from creative interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, that is from its origins as an institution chartered by governments to carry out specific public functions, to the rise of the vast modern institutions entitled to some of the legal rights of a "person." One central theme of the documentary is an attempt to assess the "personality" of the corporate "person" by using diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV; Robert Hare, a University of British Columbia Psychology Professor and FBI consultant, compares the modern, profit-driven corporation to that of a clinically diagnosed psychopath.
Examines the nature, evolution, impact and possible futures of the modern business corporation.
