The Corporation

The Corporation is wonderful and an extremely important film due to the education which comes with the viewing.

It's a powerful, provocative, inspiring and successfully takes on the challenge to teach a complex subject with humor and humility, while enabling the human element.

Touching on the human desire for wealth and power, the film showcases corporate customs which have led us almost blindly to neglect, distort and abandon our social values, on both a universal and personal level.

After watching the film last week, I felt a strong sense of awareness which previously had been sporadic thoughts. Also the pure understanding that we, as society, have been supporting largely out of convenience while ignoring the consequences. This film brings a strong level of responsibility from the perspective of self "cause and effect".

This film is worth far more than just a few hours of educational entertainment. Regardless of where you are coming from, this is the kind of movie that everyone should go and experience.
