The Corporation

This disturbingly foreboding documentary should be watched. It's long, but does an excellent job telling the complicated story of the modern corporation (with a definite progressive viewpoint) without the rabble-rousing and grandstanding that the well meaning Michael Moore (who comes across as more sincere in the interviews in the film than he does in his own work) tends to utilize.

From the film's website:

THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics - including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.

The "redemption" of Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface, a company that makes carpet tiles (that I, unfortunately, shilled for a short while), was, in my mind, one of the more interesting stories. His company's stated goal at this point is to become sustainable by 2020.
