I'd like to recommend a documentary that I saw last week, called "The Corporation." Although I already knew much of what was in it because my husband is in that field, I was still astonished at just how much corporations get away with. The film is based on the US law in the 1800s that declared that a corporation is "a person," with the same rights, etc. The documentary looks at corporate behaviour (both good and bad) and decides just what kind of "a person" a corporation is. It's just on its way to US theatres now, and after a few months will come out on video and DVD. I plan to buy a copy: it should be required viewing for every citizen of the world.
