Happy Birthday to The Corporation!
By
Katherine Dodds
This time six years ago I would have been sitting through the early screening at Tinseltown as The Corporation had the beginning of it's almost record-breaking run there.
I would have been selling our devil-man tee-shirts for cash on the stairway, and marveling at the table action with our our activist cohorts, such as the Council of Canadians, and the lineups of hardcore fans that just wouldn't quit.
Over at The Ridge, where Jennifer Abbott was in attendance the same scene was going on. Mark Achbar was at a screening at Sundance, and Joel Bakan was in the Toronto screening where the roof (literally) came down. None of us was able to be at the World Social Forum Screening in Mumbai. January 16, 2004 was a big night for The Corporation.
And 6 years later the film's message hasn't grown stale, and it's impact is still being felt.
We are in the midst of planning a re-launch of our website, and a review of what has been going on since the film hit theatres. If you have stories to tell about your experiences with the film please email me. Kat@hellocoolworld.com. I'd love to hear your anecdotes as we plot out next 6 years.
