RED MOVIES


In the spirit of creating awareness, encouraging critical thought, and sometimes for entertainment purposes, I felt it would be great to host movie nights at my place or get people together to go to the movies and other events. Not only that but, I set up an online group, made up of friends of mine, to receive messages on upcoming movies, videos, events and other information, most of the time, for the purposes of shedding some light and to create discussions on various topics not usually explored by the mainstream media.

Not to show that I agree fully with what is being shown but, once again, to give critical thought on the subjects presented. With that, I was interested in taking the idea to the next step and giving you an opportunity to join us to create a sort of, collective consciousness by sharing with you to share with others as well. Please feel free to send me any suggestions to add to the content of this page. Thanks.

The Corporation


About the Film

WINNER OF 26 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS! 10 Audience Choice Awards including
the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.

Provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION
explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution
of our time. Part film and part movement, The Corporation is
transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and
compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the
logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the
psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" The
Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics
- including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn,
Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies
and strategies for change.

"AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING EXTRAS, there is basically
another 6-hour (!) documentary included." MovieFreak

Along with the groundbreaking 145-minute theatrical version of the
film, the two-disc DVD has eight hours of never-before-seen footage.
In addition to two commentary tracks, deleted scenes, and Q's-and-A's,
165 new clips and updates are sorted "by person" and "by topic." Get
the details you want to know on the issues you care about. Then, check
out the web links for follow-up research and action.

THE CORPORATION is Canada's most successful documentary... EVER!

The film is based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological
Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan.
