Plot Summary
Our world is dominated by giant corporations like Coca-Cola, Microsoft and Nike. This provocative film looks at the corporate organizational model from a mischievous point of view, placing corporations on the psychiatrist’s couch for analysis. Because the pursuit of profit is behind every corporate decision, corporations fit a classic psychiatric profile: They are psychopaths.
This unexpected conclusion prompts many moral, political and social questions. Full of interviews with corporate insiders and critics, this often humorous documentary is packed with fascinating insights. Winner of 26 international awards, including 10 Audience Choice Awards at film festivals around the world.
We are proud to present a special 120 minute version of The Corporation created specially for REEL CANADA audiences.
