Stockholm Film Festival

In the wake of non-fiction films getting a wider audience, due to box office hits such as Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, film companies are keen to invest in films that criticize the current American regime. Along comes The Corporation, a film that not only criticizes the Bush administration but also investigates what has become the very centre of the American lifestyle, the corporations. Professors from acclaimed American business schools along with respected profiles such as Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore and Naomi Klein are interviewed about every aspect of the phenomenon that is the corporation. The film fol-
Lows its history, from the settlers' small shops to today's multi billion conglomerates. We get to experience in detail how corporations control society.
This film has le~s of a sensational approach than Moore's works. It doesn't investigate previously unknown facts, instead it binds together recognized facts into a context that thoroughly explains how corporations have contributed to the downfall of both nature and society. This film is likely to be unsettling for many as it shows how your everyday choices in a convenient store or in a supermarket can affect people's lives.
