The Corporation

Conspiracy Theory Or Not? Controlling Minds Since 1952

The Corporation is a landmark documentary that delves into the rise of the modern corporation and its pervasive influence on global society. Directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott, the film critically examines how corporations have evolved into powerful entities with the legal status of "individuals" while often lacking the ethical constraints expected of actual human beings. Through expert interviews, including insights from Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore, the film explores how corporations prioritize profit over people, often at the expense of the environment, public welfare, and ethical governance. The documentary draws on historical case studies, environmental disasters, and corporate scandals to illustrate how companies exploit legal loopholes and governmental systems. It critiques the corporate pursuit of power and profit, raising questions about accountability, regulation, and the role of capitalism in shaping global priorities. From environmental degradation to labor exploitation, The Corporation sheds light on the dark side of modern business and advocates for systemic reform, urging viewers to reconsider the unchecked power of global corporations in today’s world.
