Title: The Corporation

Release Date: 10 Sep 2003

Runtime: 2h 25m

Genre: Documentary

Director: Big Picture Media Corporation

Production Companies: Big Picture Media Corporation

Overview: Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
