2003 – THE CORPORATION is a Canadian documentary film written by Joel
Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary
examines the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a
class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the
world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. This
is explored through specific examples. Bakan wrote the book, The
Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, during the
filming of the documentary.
Corporations now have more legal rights than people, and people hide
behind their corporations to protect themselves from liability and avoid
personal accountability. In a world without risk of tarnishing your
reputation or losing your wealth via litigation, are we creating a
society where irresponsibility, corruption and immorality is rewarded?
The dehumanization of business spells the death of personal freedom.
