The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel

About This Movie

So, 'The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel' is a deeply unsettling documentary that really takes you on a wild ride through the modern landscape of corporate power. Directed by Joel Bakan, it feels like a somber reflection on how corporations have become this all-consuming force in society—two decades after his first film, no less. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each revelation to sink in, which can be pretty jarring. There's a strong thematic thread about the creeping authoritarianism intertwined with corporate interests. Visually, it’s straightforward but effective, and the interviews have this raw authenticity that makes the arguments hit home. It's a film that demands reflection, not just about corporations, but about our own complicity in this system.
