The New Corporation
Following the example of their critically-acclaimed first documentary, The New Corporation delves even deeper into the absolute and far-reaching power that corporations have gained, and the future that awaits us if that power remains unchecked.
“What you want from a film like this one is for it to touch the metaphysics of how corporations now work. The New Corporation does that. It shakes up your perceptions. And it makes you suck in your breath.” — Owen Glieberman, Variety
