TODAY, on the film & corporate personhood front -- I'll be on David Mathison's Blog/Talk/Radio show for Be The Media. (Buy the book, by the way, it's great). Along with indie film go-to guru Peter Broderick, and Corporation author co-creator Joel Bakan we'l be talking about indie distribution and grassroots promotion on the web. And corporate personhood...
Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of HelloCoolWorld.com, the grassroots team behind The Corporation, and is featured in a "Grassroots Marketing" segment on The Corporation DVD set. She is dedicated to harnessing the power of the film to rein in corporate abuse through the development of the Campaign 4 Corporate Harm Reduction.
We've just launched a blog feature on this site and with the recent US Supreme Court ruling ripping open the political system to yet more corporate money and influence, the timing couldn't be better. Though the ruling itself is distressing and the results potentially dire, it has also galvanized people to action and thrust corporate personhood into the spotlight. It's about time the corporation's status as a legal person, entitled to all the rights and freedoms of individuals (i.e. actual living, breathing people!), entered the public vernacular.
