A powerful Michael Moore-style polemic. It will excite the passions, pro and con depending on one's prior ideology, but is unlikely to change any minds.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DVD The Observer has commented on here. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his notoriously honest ‘Farewell Address’ at the end of his presidency, warned against the inauspicious dangers of the newly-formed…

Interesting how corporations are poisoning us. Appears as though corporations expect to pay fines which is less of a cost than clean up or control of their waste. Lots of cancer deaths from chemicals we use for convenience. Only watched…

An excellent documentary on the corrupted American corporate world. A caveat: This movie only tells a piece of the problem. Yes, the American giant corporations gave a very low wage to third world labours. But, this is the third world…

A thought provoking look at the role corporations play in our lives - many times without us being aware of it. The film touches on subtle marketing strategies, the role of the corporation as a "person", and the privatization of what most…

Ten years I've had to wait to see this. The content is worth seeing, but we might need new copies of the DVDs due to wear and tear.

Fairly sterile way to throw ALOT of information at you, but it gets the job done. I now understand that "conspiracy-theorist" kid back when I was younger. This 2-disc Special Edition, with hours of extra stuff is the one to watch. We are…

5 of 5 stars. This eye-opening, no-nonsense documentary shows how a legal structure affects our lives and negates our democracy. Yup, if corporations are people, then they are sociopaths. Can we end corporate personhood?

Loved this movie. Good selection of people speaking about the topics. Hope they show this movie to kids in school. The second disc is also a treasure trove of information and interviews, IMO.
