The New Corporation

 

The New Corporation ​is a 2020 documentary directed by Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan, law professor at the University of British Columbia. The film is an analysis of how corporations have taken over society, and portrays the sly rebranding of corporations as socially conscious entities. From gatherings of elites in Davos, Switzerland to climate change and spiralling inequality; the rise of ultra-right leaders to Covid-19 and racial injustice the film looks at corporations’ devastating power. Countering this is a grassroots resistance worldwide as people take to the streets in pursuit of economic and political justice, with the future of mankind at stake.
