Hi again--
One other movie that has just been released is a documentary called "Corporation"--which relays the domination of corporations over the national/international economic, political, and cultural landscape.  Excellent context for those working to address issues related to economic exploitation.  There was a good review of it in our paper today.  If anyone is interested, I can fax it to you.
