Films Can Help to Change the World: Mark Achbar interviewed by Dennis Ott and Sebastian Dalkowski. Intro: >Modern law endows economic institutions with legal rights of real, flesh-and-blood people. But if the corporation is a person -- what kind of person is it? A recent documentary film provides an alarming answer: the institution is "a person that is pathological by nature and by law, and systematically crushes democracy, freedom, rights, and the natural human instincts on which a decent life and even human survival depends."

JUSTmag talked to co-director Mark Achbar about the film, corporate globalization, and popular activism.< Link
