I think this film is very appropriate given the recent U.S Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money in support of their favorite presidential candidate. The ‘bottomline’ with this decision is that in the U.S politicians will be forced to adopt pro-corporate, pro-capitalist agendas to gain favor from major corporations in order to compete with each other for advertising and overall cultural influence.
This documentary outlines the historical conditions and decisions that have led up to corporations being legally declared “persons” in the U.S – thereby ensuring the full human rights to these profit-obsessed conglomerated organizations.
I will have much more to say on this topic in the future, but this documentary is a good place to start gaining perspective. Enjoy:
