Film Screening & Fundraiser

Winner of 23 International Awards, The Corporation is an acclaimed documentary film which explores the nature and spectacular rise of the most pervasive institution of our time.

Few words have the baggage that the word corporate does. The majority of workers in the United States work for corporations. These days you’re most likely to hear the word corporate bandied about as a rallying cry. It’s leveled at artists who “sell out,” or go “corporate.” Thrown like pies at politicians with “corporate” interests. Corporate goons are the lynchpins of countless cuckold and old boy jokes. And yet corporations are stronger now than ever, driven by favorable political winds, fed by a steady stream of willing workers, and nestled deep and safe inside the American psyche.

The Corporation‘s directors, Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar, attempt to distill all this into a 145-minute film. They succeed brilliantly, providing both entertainment and intellect.

Plus an information meeting for traveling to Fort Benning, Georgia to protest the School of the Americas (SOA).

On June 28, under the command of SOA graduate General Romeo Vasquez Velasquez, the Honduran military overthrew the democratically-elected government of President Zelaya. Since then, security forces have brutally repressed dissent through torture, assassination, sexual abuses and the suspension of freedom of speech.

Join us to protest and act to CLOSE THE SOA! In 2008 over 20,000 people came to a vigil at the gates of the US army base at Fort Benning, Georgia to demand the close of the School of the Americas.  Every November since 1994 Central New Yorkers have demonstrated against the US Army’s Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. It is notorious for teaching Latin American military officers tactics to repress their own people in favor of the local oligarchies and US corporations doing lucrative business in their countries.
