The award winning Canadian documentary The Corporation has been released on BitTorrent for free. Filmmaker Mark Achbar just released an updated official torrent of it. Everyone is free to download, watch, discuss, and share it.

corporation free downloadThe Corporation received more than 20 awards, including an audience award at the the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. The Film gives insight into the inner workings of large and powerful corporations, and how these affect our society.

The new torrent download includes a high-quality rip of the master DVD and a 40 minute interview with Joel Bakan, the author of the book and writer of the film. Mark Achbar actually dedicated a computer in his garage to do nothing but seed.

Although the torrent download is free, the filmmakers encourage people to donate a small fee if they like what they see. We asked Mark Achbar how the first round of donations went. He said, since my initial torrent launch of The Corporation at the end of August, there have been $635.00 in contributions. They ranged from $2 to three very generous gifts of $100 each. All are very much appreciated.

The makers of The Corporation just launched a Campaign for Corporate Harm Reduction (C4CHR) in collaboration with Hellocoolworld.com. The purpose of this campaign is to collect stories about the impact of the film, asking people what they did, or something theyve heard happened as a result of the film.

We want to create a feedback loop on the what you can do front, and perhaps turn it into a book. The torrent is a great way to stay in touch with people about our current activities Achbar Achbar explained.

He added, my only regret is that I didnt put up my own torrent sooner.

I saw this about a year ago and I thought it was good. It was a little long but interesting enough to sit through all three hours. I did break it up into separate days though.

It is also on google video so you don't have to download it.

I've had it for a while. It's a pretty good film. My mum got annoyed at some of the inaccuracies (I can't remember which ones); and some of it doesn't apply to Australia (like the milk thing).
But all round, it was a pretty fantastic film

I've read Bakan's book of the same title - an excellent read, it really opened my eyes to the 'logic' of big business.

Joel Bakan teaches law at the university I go to... haven't taken one of his classes though.


Love the documentary - extremely interesting.
