The Corporation 2003

The Corporation (2003)     Corporations have all the legal rights of a person since a late 18 century Supreme Court decision.  They have become very powerful across the globe, economically, politically and socially.  In many cases, their bottom line has been such a driving force that money is seen as the end all regardless of what takes place to get there.
     I found many very interesting facts presented in this film, especially alarming is advertising teaching children how to "nag" their parents more effectively in order to get them to buy what the child wants.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

145 min, documentary directed by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott, with Mikela Jay, Rob Beckwermert, Christopher Gora,, Nina Jones, Richard Kopycinski, Karen Lam, Sean Lang.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 8.2 out of 10, 91% critic 88% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
