I first watched The Corporation
when it was first shown around, at the Minneapolis Film Fest, with the producers and the director. The Corporation
could be termed a forensic personality profile of the American Corporation, but I viewed it as an insightful ethnography of the most important tribe to emerge in human history. The most important, and the most dangerous tribe. In fact, I showed The Corporation as an ethnography in my anthropology classes a number of times.

Greg,
You are aware that you can embed the entire 15 part playlist on your blog, aren't you? (Unless you prefer to make 15 separate posts, which is your prerogative.)
I don't like those playlists.
Another similar movie that I liked was Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
If you like the Enron one, you'll probably like PBS Frontline's "The Warning", if you haven't already seen it.
