Here below are both the trailer and Part 1. You can then watch the entire documentary by following the other parts in the section of the actual YouTube site called "related videos":


I've long been both troubled and confused by the legal "personhood" of corporations. (And also that their right to give vast sums of money to political campaigns is considered protected "free speech".)
