A Canadian made documentary about the analysis of inner workings of corporations and reveals the bizarre operating principles that many use.

A quote from the film:
"THE CORPORATION engages us in a darkly amusing account of the institution’s birth as a legal “person” whose prime directive is to produce ever-increasing profit for it’s shareholders regardless of the cost to anyone, or anything else. This pathological nature wasn’t always written in stone. 150 years ago a corporation was merely an organized way of doing business. Today it is a global power."

This film featured interviews with a wide group of CEO's from different companies and a cameo with one of my favourites, Micheal Moore. The film does an excellent job of uncovering many of the awful truths of the majority of these "entities", their deceit, and tyranny in the name of profit. Labeled the next Bowling for Columbine, if you have a chance to see this film you wont regret it. It is definitely a change from the daily filtered media whos job is to brainwash the everyone into a collective machine of consumption.
