Movie Night at Riverview Retreat Thursday, November 10, 7:00 PM This month's movie is... The Corporation The Corporation explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Footage from pop culture, advertising, TV news, and corporate propaganda, illuminates the corporation's grip on our lives. Taking its legal status as a "person" to its logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on a psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" Provoking, witty, sweepingly informative, The Corporation includes forty interviews with corporate insiders and critics including Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore, plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change. Winner of 24 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS, 10 of them AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS including the AUDIENCE AWARD for DOCUMENTARY in WORLD CINEMA at the 2004 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL. The film is based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan "Thought provoking doc...[The filmmakers] wrap their end-is-nigh warning in an entertaining package, and the coolheaded delivery increases its impact." - Megan Lehmann, The New York Post "Fast paced, highly enjoyable and provocative" - Bill White, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Coolheaded and incisive...thorough and informative...It leaves audiences with a cold shiver" -Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle Move over, Michael Moore! Securing the participation of so many kings of capitalism was one of the filmmakers' most vital accomplishments." -Sheelah Kolhatkar, The New York Observer "Leisurely, never boring, grimly amusing, and not entirely hopeless disquisition on the contemporary world's "dominant institution." -Village Voice Remember...No
Parking on the street…Thanks
