The Longest Reign: The Queen and Her People

We explore how the reign of Queen Elizabeth II has been a thread of continuity running through 70 tumultuous years of British history. We look at how the Queen has worn the crown during an era in which her country and her people changed beyond all recognition. From politics and the economy to industry and technology, our working life to our family life, from what we eat to how we dress, how we spend our money, and what we do in our free time. We see how Elizabeth II was no bystander during these great moments of social change, but someone who often led the way, reflecting and engaging with the critical moments in our post-war history. We reveal how, during these shifting times, not only did we change, but the Queen did too, her time echoed our transformation, the crown moving with the ages. We hear how Elizabeth II became a fixed focal point for many during these changing times; an anchor for the country - someone people looked to

The Corporation

Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.
