Has anyone here seen this? Netflix synopsis:This documentary charts the spectacular rise of corporations as a dramatic, pervasive presence in our lives. Filmmakers March Achbar and Jennifer Abbott present a timely, entertaining critique of global conglomerates as they chronicle the origins of corporations, as well as their inner workings, controversial impacts and possible futures. The pros and cons are weighed via interviews with social critics such as Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore.

    I saw the movie version, I just wanted to find out if others here had seen it.

    The part with the IBM memos about the concentration camps is worth the price by itself.

    I got it on Netflix about two weeks ago. It's very indepth and informative. You should definately check it out.
    Runs a little long though.
