“The New Corporation” ​reveals how the corporate takeover of society is being justified by the sly rebranding of corporations as socially conscious entities. From gatherings of corporate elites in Davos, to climate change and spiraling inequality, to the rise of ultra-right leaders, to COVID-19 and racial injustice, this film looks at corporations’ devastating power.

Countering this is a groundswell of resistance worldwide as people take to the streets in pursuit of justice and the planet’s future.
