This month's film: The Corporation
Canada's most successful documentary... EVER! Provoking, witty,
stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our
time. Part film and part movement... Taking its status as a legal
"person" to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?"
Includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.

Elizabeth Castagna - 500 Main Street "What do you want?"
The question "What do you want?" hung across 4 windows in large bold text of the storefront at 500 Main Street. What would contemplation of this question give rise to inside of us? What is it like for a community to see this question on a daily basis for one month? Do we change once we become clear about what we want? Where does the answer to this question live in our body?
I chose 500 Main Street storefront because of the mailbox slot. A mailbox slot in the door of a vacant store with the question "What do you want?" evokes a feeling that maybe you can get what you want by writing it down on a piece of paper and putting it into the slot. What does it feel like for you to express what you want?
