The Corporation

A tenacious filmmaker sets out to expose how the modern corporation, treated as a legal person, operates like a ruthless psychopath, risking global devastation unless society confronts its unchecked power.

Synopsis

Since the late 18th century, the American legal decision recognizing the business corporation as a legal person has made it a dominant economic, political, and social force worldwide. This film provides an in-depth psychological examination of the organizational model through various case studies. The study illustrates that in its behavior, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, the film shows the profound threat this psychopath poses to our world and our future, as well as what people with courage, intelligence, and determination can do to stop it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
