The New Corporation Film Screening

A Screening of The New Corporation film, followed by Q&A with director Joel Bakan

Introduced by Andre Spicer, Dean, Bayes Business School, and followed by a drinks reception.

The New Corporation is the ‘unfortunately necessary sequel’ to 2003’s multi-awarding winning documentary film The Corporation.

The film 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 spiralling inequality; the rise of ultra-right leaders to Covid-19 and racial injustice, the film looks at corporations’ devastating power. The film also features activists and resistance movements, touching on issues such as the inequities laid bare by the coronavirus pandemic, and the movement for Black lives. Countering this is a groundswell of resistance worldwide as people take to the streets in pursuit of justice and the planet’s future.

The screening of this film will be introduced by Professor Andre Spicer, Dean of Bayes Business School, and followed by a short Q&A with the film’s director and writer, Professor Joel Bakan, and a drinks reception.

Schedule:

Doors open - 5.30pm
Film begins - 6.00pm
Q&A - 7.45pm followed by drinks reception.
