'The Corporation' Puts Firms on the Couch

NPR | By Kenneth Turan

Published July 15, 2004 at 11:00 PM CDT

The new documentary The Corporation, which won an audience award at the Sundance Film Festival, takes a humorous approach to questioning the power multinational firms wield across the globe. The film analyzes corporations as if they were persons, and concludes most act like psychopaths. Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan has a review.
