The Corporation -- Next Generation!
By Katherine Dodds On October 03, 2011 | 1 CommentsDon't let the corporations own you. Occupy Your Future!
We're excited to be starting to focus test the new cut of The Corporation film for high shools with teachers and students who want to help us relaunch the film to activate a new generation of Corporation fans. (We hope).
We are calling on students and teachers to help us launch Corporation clubs and a social media campaign across North America. Check out the video we did with a Grade 8 class in Essex Ontario!

Fall news and events - Joel Bakan's new book, VIFF picks and more!
By Colette Gunson On September 27, 2011 | 0 CommentsJoel Bakan goes head-to-head with Kevin O'Leary and Amanda Lang on the Lang & O'Leary Exchange
Joel Bakan, writer of the award-winning film and internationally best-selling book The Corporation, just released a brand new book called Childhood Under Siege: How Big Business Targets Children (Free Press) about how we, as a society, have allowed corporations to take over childhood.
Bakan reveals the astonishingly callous and widespread exploitation of children by profit-seeking corporations-and also society's shameful failure to protect them. Bakan shows how corporations pump billions of dollars into rendering parents and governments powerless to shield children from a relentless commercial assault designed solely to exploit their unique needs and vulnerabilities. Despite the unfortunate reality, the book is hopeful and offers readers ways of fighting back and reclaiming their children’s lives.
