The Corporation

This Canadian documentary examines the evolution and behavior of modern multinational corporations. It explores how a late 18th-century American legal decision treating the business corporation as a person allowed this organizational model to become a dominant global force. Through various case studies and interviews with founders, employees, and critics, the film conducts a psychological analysis of the corporate entity. It argues that this legal person often behaves like a destructive psychopath lacking a conscience, posing a threat to the future of the world while highlighting how determined individuals can work to stop it.
