Controlling Interest
Description
This classic documentary offered the first account on film of the growth of multinational corporations, their impact on people at home and abroad, and their influence on U.S. foreign policy, helping to kick off the anti-globalization movement. Candid interviews with business executives provide a rare glimpse into the reasoning behind corporate global strategy and the never-ending search for more resources, cheaper labor, and new markets. The film includes case studies from Massachusetts' declining machine tool industry, Brazil's "economic miracle," and Chile before and after the 1973 coup.
