The Corporation
This movie exposes the Corporation, the lion that controls the water well. People often blame this or that politician for the destruction of the environment or wars over resources, but who's really behind them?
"Socialism collapsed because it did not allow prices to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow prices to tell the ecological truth." – Oystein Dahle, former Vice President, Exxon, Norway
THE CORPORATION
Are corporations responsible and productive members of
society? Or are they ruthless psychopaths, stopping at
nothing to maximize profits? Is profit for real -- or are the
costs being hidden? Are poverty, war and the destruction
of the environment being needlessly advanced by corporate
influence?
Most importantly, does it have to be that way?
Beginning this Friday, January 16, "The Corporation" is
screening in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. It is being
hailed by some as "the next Bowling for Columbine".
Perhaps even more so than Michael Moore's remarkable
film, The Corporation tackles root causes of what is wrong
with society today -- a society that is quickly destroying
the planet and everything on it.
Many of us work for corporations, big or small. There are
many good, well-meaning people in corporations, both staff
and management. But this film argues that the legal and
economic structure of the corporation itself - despite the
best efforts of the people who work for them - is inherently
destructive. And unnecessary.
Anyone who wants a healthy life, meaningful work and
a saner world will be interested in this film. Why do
things always seem to sink to the lowest common
denominator -- pointless work, seedy consumerism,
senseless violence? How can we reconnect with our
values and needs? This film helps shed some light
on these questions. It might even inspire us to do
something about it.
