The Corporation is a 2003 feature-length documentary film written by Joel Bakan and directed by Mark Achbar and
Jennifer Abbott. It is the story of the corporation, one of the world's most powerful institutions. The Corporation reveals
how powerful corporations are growing as a result of being guaranteed special rights to utilize the earth and its
resources, as well as people, animals, and minorities. The film begins with the assertion that corporations have been
given legal person rights, so one must determine what kind of person the corporation is. The Corporation immerses
viewers in a system that dominates much of our society and lacks any discernible accountability. It does this by taking
audiences on an intriguing journey through history and beyond.
Environmental compliance is one of the common legal issues in the documentary film. The commodity trader
believes that the environment is unimportant because they are only one side of a transaction. They profit from their
trade and eventually make money from any costs they incur from the Earth. If the Corporation lacks information about
environmental conditions, it shows that they are unconcerned about the environment. This would imply that they will
only be concerned with maximizing their profits and expanding rather than attempting to benefit everyone by creating a
sustainable environment. The corporation produces so much pollution that it is felt all over the earth today. Pollution,
waste, and chemical substances in our air and water are causing health issues for both humans and wildlife. This
pollution causes more deaths than at any other time in human history.
In this Canadian documentary, corporations will do everything they can to persuade you to buy whatever
product they are promoting. It shows how large corporations use simple tricks and tactics to take away people's
freedom.
