Following its internationally successful theatrical release, one of the most influential and talked about documentaries of the year, THE CORPORATION is coming to DVD as a two-disc Special Edition crammed with six hours of bonus material.
The winner of 9 international film awards, including the prestigious Audience Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, THE CORPORATION is a powerful documentary that has been resonating with audiences all over the world. A clever and entertaining examination of the ways in which corporations work, the film has illuminated, educated and enlightened countless people, inspiring them to act against this dominant global institution.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the corporation was a relatively insignificant entity. Today it is a vivid, dramatic and pervasive presence in all our lives, much like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party were in other times and places. But, as history has shown, such institutions are eventually crushed, belittled or absorbed into some new order. The corporation is unlikely to be the first to defy history.

THE CORPORATION looks at the very nature of the eponymous institution, which under law is considered, and given the same rights as, a \"person\". The obvious question – \"What kind of person is it?\" – is answered when it is revealed that the corporation meets all the diagnostic criteria of a psychopath.

Using dramatic case studies and interviews with leading contemporary figures – including, amongst others, award winning filmmaker and author, Michael Moore, best-selling author of \"No Logo\", Naomi Klein, visionary academic, Noam Chomsky and renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner, Milton Friedman – the film explores the impacts the corporation has on our environment, our children, our health, our media, our democracy and even our genes – and what people are doing in response.

Funny, compelling and hugely informative, THE CORPORATION is a remarkable documentary that demands to be seen.
