Dissecting the personality of corporations as a legal “Person” with penetrating precision, the directors of this thought-provoking documentary come up with irrefutable evidence that these “Persons” are, in fact, psychopaths. But, this is not the mass slating of single corporate entities (although many are cited) -it is an investigation into why the “body” corporate has such profound global political, commercial and psychological influence.
Cohesive, intelligent and well-balanced, the film expresses the views of anti-corporate activists and meets the exploited, just as it invites the Corporations to pose their side of the argument. CEOs and corporate insiders account for their past and present misconduct in the name of the shareholders and profit motivation. But unfortunately, paralleled against damning evidence, their moral and responsible track record as citizens is still out with the jury.
