DOCUMENTARIO- A CORPORAÇÃO(THECORPORATION)
A partir da polêmica decisão da Suprema Corte de Justiça americana concluindo que uma corporação, aos olhos da lei, é uma “pessoa”, são analisados os poderes das grandes corporações no mundo atual. A exploração da mão-de-obra barata no Terceiro Mundo e a devastação do meio ambiente são alguns dos fatos explorados, que entrevistam presidentes de corporações como a Nike, Shell e IBM, além de Noam Chomsky, Milton Friedman e Michael Moore. São mais de duas horas de documentário que passam rápido.
De edição rápida e denúncias (não tão inéditas assim) contundentes, The Corporation é um documento que serve não somente como peça artística , mas também como denúncia social. Talvez o maior propósito de The Corporation não seja somente alertar, mas sim documentar tristemente que, uma vez inseridos no capitalismo, é impossível fugir dos domínios mercadológicos das corporações. Não que eu ou você podemos fazer algo contra as corporações que, como pode ser visto nesta produção, nos dominam, uma vez que estamos completamente afundados desse tipo de economia. O que se pode é exercer uma função vigilante em relação às suas atitudes, e é exatamente esse o despertar dado pelo documentário.
In the years after the break up of Rage Against The Machine, singer Zack De La Rocha was interested in making a solo album. He reached out to Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and the two began working on songs. For reasons not quite clear, the solo album was never released. Out of the twenty songs Trent and Zack collaborated on, only one has seen the light of day.
This song.

Share it as much as you can. It is a difficult program to watch, and I understand people feel overwhelmed by what’s enlight here. I also get the feeling of having been deceived, it is completely legitimate. Nevertheless, the message, if it is alarmist and depressing, should help all of us realize how crucial it is to change our perspective and view regarding our planet. We must understand that the way we are living is not sustainable and that the improvement will only come if we accept and act in this perspective. That means consumming less (and better), there is many way to do that. In this idea, the “change” is only possible if we all act together, not only the government or so called decision makers. If you feel like your actions are unecessary or insufficient, remember that if we all think that, that makes a lot ! There are no small steps in this adventure, each of them count !

“We have to pull it. Nothing else is covered.” The dentist would say, looking at me like I should be glad to get even that bit of charity. Tears would fill my eyes as yet another tooth that could have been saved was yanked from my head.
When I was younger, we were riding in my grandfather’s truck when my grandmother tickled me and I broke my front tooth on the dash, leaving the root exposed. The next day, we went to the dentist, who performed a root canal and placed a temporary cap on top. A year ago, I learned that my mother didn’t have dental coverage at the time and that the dentist had provided this service (and many others in my childhood) for free. I can smile confidently because someone went out of their way for me. Although no one should be shamed for the state of their oral health, everyone should have the right to a confident smile regardless of their ability to pay.

Did the shooter open a bank account on his 18th birthday?
Brrr, it definitely feels like the first day of winter here in Park City, so we’re bundling up for December Archives Hashtag Party: #ArchivesSweaterWeather! Pictured above is Roger Ebert, Melvin Van Peebles, and Michael Moore during the 1990 Sundance Film Festival.
