Film Showing - The Corporation

Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 6:45pm

A full-length documentary film that explores the rise, nature, and impact of the corporate entity on society. The documentary probes the lack of accountability and morality that arises in a system where corporate entities are granted the same rights as human beings.

BP * Citigroup * Halliburton * Bechtel * Massey Energy

Commentary from Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Milton Friedman, Naomi Klein, corporate executives and others.

Discussion to follow. Why were corporations created? How do they make decisions? Do they cry when workers are killed? Do they suffer from Black Lung Disease? Are corporations persons? If not who is to hold them to account?

Join us in exploring these questions and many more.

Snacks provided.
