Movie Review

The movie was pretty much one side mainly targeting and portraying the negative influence that Corporation has on humans, nature and economy. This movie is a result of 7 years of research and hence the information provided gives a good insight to different aspects of how corporations act and react to circumstances.  On a final note this documentary shows the “Other side of the coin” which is generally hidden from public. Always it is good to know the other side of the coin but one should not form a biased opinion just by knowing the other side.
