518 Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1978.
520 "Controlling Interest" 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. This is the film that helped kick-off the
anti-globalization movement. Upon its release, Controlling
Interest quickly became a standard "audio-visual text" for
those concerned about the growing impact of multinational
corporations on global affairs. The film examines how the
ever-increasing concentration and velocity of capital
affect employment in the U.S., shape patterns of
development in the Third World, and influence our nation's
foreign policy. Remarkably candid interviews with business
executives provide a rare glimpse of the reasoning behind
corporate global strategy and their never-ending search
for resources, ever-cheaper labor, and new markets. The
film documents the impact of their decisions on people
around the world, including how "freedom" has come
increasingly to mean the freedom of global corporations to
operate without restriction anywhere on earth. The film
includes case studies from Massachusetts' declining
machine tool industry, Brazil's "economic miracle," and
Chile before and after the 1973 coup. "***1/2! The film
Network served as a fictional primer on the 'anything
goes' philosophy of the international conglomerate. This
substantive documentary offers a valuable and illuminating
account of the growth of conglomerates and their influence
on global affairs." - Newsday “A bruising exposè!
Hopscotching the hemisphere, the film is interspersed with
scenes in a small Massachusetts city about to be deserted
for the sunbelt by the corporation that has dominated its
economy for a century. The not-so-secret stars of the film
are the various corporation executives interviewed
throughout. Their shameless fealty to the profit motive
and casual barbarisms couldn’t be bettered by wooden
dummies dangled on Karl Marx’s knee.” - J. Hoberman,
Village Voice "With its broad range of uses, piercing
analysis and engaging presentation, this film should be
seen by anyone intersted in multinational corporations." -
Teaching Political Science "A long-awaited success! A
finely crafted example of mature filmmaking. Although the
material is complex, the logical thread of the film is
remarkably easy to follow." - Cineaste "A unique film!
Controlling Interest brings the crucial issues of who's in
control alive, not only in the world's Brazils, South
Africas and Singapores, but right here at home." - Francis
Moore Lappe, author Food First.
