This is a movie I borrowed from a friend a few weeks ago, it prompted me to examine and change some of my views about the world of work and also the economy we live in.
You can find it here on Google Video, but you can also buy it on DVD with 8 hours of extras from the website http://www.thecorporation.com/. This website also contains a lot of related material and is well worth a visit.
Prior to watching this, I viewed corporations as essentially benign, with one or two exceptions. I now realise how much I had my head in the sand, this view has been emphasised by the speed with which redunancies have been announced across our economy in our current economic state.
On Saturday I was out with friends and one was complaining about the two faced attitude of her manager in light to an incident in their office with a new worker. He was trying to keep her sweet and sweep her issue under the rug at the same time, which confused her. I remembered this film and her story started to make sense.
I highly recommend this movie, it’s 180 minutes long and worth every minute.
Thanks for the heads-up on this one. Unlike you, I have harbored distrust of the corporation for more years than I can remember. Not benign. More like a cancer on the surface of the globe.
