#1000 Screenings’ DiscussionS
The New Corporation is starting conversations in hosted screenings around the world. Watch the fascinating discussions from these events:
- World Social Forum featuring directors Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan
- Sierra Club BC with filmmaker Joel Bakan and activist, organizer, and Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant, and moderated by Sierra Club BC climate justice lead Anjali Appadurai.
About the Film
The Corporation (2003) examined an institution within society. The New Corporation reveals a world now fully remade in the corporation’s image, perilously close to losing democracy. We trace the devastating consequences, connecting the dots between then and now, and inspire with stories of resistance and change from around the world.
In the face of fracturing societies, climate change, and the hollowing out of democracy, The New Corporation is a cry for social justice, deeper democracy, and transformative solutions.

Change is Coming
These are indeed unprecedented times. Capitalism and corporate influence are wreaking far greater havoc on society than when the original film came out in 2003. Today, we are mired in inequity, racism, injustice, economic exploitation at a scale not seen since the 1920s. But change is coming.
Under The Skin with Russell Brand
Watch Joel Bakan, filmmaker and author of The New Corporation, talk to Russell about what really happens at Davos and the true intentions of big business and CEOs.
