This documentary corporation shows facts that unveil the true meaning of a corporation in the real world. Corporate social responsibility that is taught a million times to students at different academic level is insolently not met by companies showcased in this documentary.

There are so many companies that are possibly the hits of this century but in reality are a threat and danger to human life because of the activities they practice without even a small amount of shame. One such company is Mon Santos that makes dairy products. This particular company has been accused of injecting (RBGH) to cows that gets them infected but on the other hand produces more milk. This milk in return is consumed by people and not them being aware of its contagiousness sub-consciously.
