    The two-and-a-half-hour documentary has been watched from the exam week until I watched it today..... Most of the time was spent on stating the unbearable side of the "enterprise", which was too left-handed and unfair. However, the cutting of each paragraph is well done, and it can be used as a ppt template. The scholars who appear in the story are all very fanciful, especially the Indian woman with a red mole between her eyebrows, very...

    It is difficult for documentaries to maintain a neutral attitude. Because the director is outside the system. Outside of the system, we can all play the role of a good person. In an evil system, it is difficult for us to avoid becoming monsters. This is the power of...

    It’s too long, and it’s almost enough to condense it to the first 70 minutes. Some of the latter examples are so extreme that the theme of the whole film is not very clear, but I really envy this spiral mode of continuous struggle and...

    As far as the company is concerned, this is an era of lies, deceit and interests. "Corporation is...

The Corporation quotes

  • Narrator: In a world economy where information is filtered by global media corporations, keenly attuned to their powerful advertisers, who will defend the public's right to know? And what price must be paid to preserve our ability to make informed choices?

  • Steve Wilson: One of the first stories that Jane came up with was the revelation that most of the milk in the state of Florida and throughout most of the country was adulterated with the effects of bovine growth hormone.

    Jane Akre: With Monsanto, I didn't realise how effectively a corporation could work to get something on the marketplace. The levels of coordination they had to have. They had to get university professors into the fold. They had to get experts into the fold. They had to get reporters into the fold. They had to get the public into the fold and of course the FDA, let's not leave them out. They had to get the federal regulators convinced that this was a fine and safe product to get it onto the marketplace. And they did that, they did that very, very well. The federal government basically rubber stamped it before they put it on the marketplace. The longest test they did for human toxicity was 90 days on 30 rats. And then either Monsanto misreported the results to the FDA, or the FDA didn't bother to look in depth at Monsanto's own studies.

    Steve Wilson: The scientists within Health Canada looked very carefully at bovine growth hormone and come to very different conclusions than the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. did.
