Conglomerates

Here is a poster that really got my attention. Although it says Britain, the United States can also relate to this. "Who are the mind-benders?" Well, I think that it is the conglomerates, or the people who own these conglomerates. Money=Power

This is a short video, the beginning of it is a cartoon. It makes fun of the people that are in charge of these large businesses and portrays them as the "bad guys." Like I said before, money=power, the second half of the short film is random informational facts. Silly video but definitely gets the point across.

This is a trailer for the documentary called, "The Corporation." I was searching through article upon article about the media, and conglomerates and had several speak about the documentary. Although it is not the entire video it gives you a perfect picture as to what it is all about, etc. I actually want to watch it, I have heard a lot of good things from these articles.

This is the website for the movie. I really enjoyed looking through this. At first I was going to put up a link to something specific like what people are being interviewed or the synopsis but the whole website has so much information it is great to look at all of it.
