Documentaries
I saw in the news that big businesses are afraid of documentaries and what they expose to the public. This particular article talked of the poverty riddled workers who pick coffee in Ethiopia. While they live and die in squalor, big companies like Starfucks, I mean, Starbucks make huge profits. Shortly after the release of this film Starbucks set up a human rights committee and met with the head honcho of Ethiopia. Oh, but it's not because of the film, it's purely coincidental.
Uh-huh.
Big companies thing we're stupid. They sit around and think of ways to make us, the buyers, spend our money. They lie, cheat, and manipulate the public in order to make a profit. Only they call it "marketing." They don't care about anything but the bottom line. And they don't want you knowing how they operate. They strive to keep everyone in the dark. Act like nice little lemmings and everything will be fine. If you try to poke holes in the darkness the next thing you know you're surrounded by lawyers. Big companies pay big money to keep their secrets safe.
These documentary makers skirt the whole issue and go to the bottom line. They record real life as it happens, they interview real people with legitimate complaints, and they expose the process of making something as cheaply as possible and selling it for as much as possible.
Once those secrets are revealed big companies still consider us stupid. They change or implement operating procedures and expect us to believe they did it by out of the kindness of their hearts. It's all a big coincidence, like we can't put two and two together. They should fear documentaries because they offer the public what big companies won't - the truth.
Big companies don't care about the population. They don't produce goods to make our lives easier. They don't care about the impact their products have on us or the environment, they don't care about the families that depend on their workers. Big companies care about one thing, money, and that is very dangerous. When a company is not making money they find a way to fix that problem. So what if they had to fire 20,000 employees, they are making a profit.
They should be questioned. They should have the public scrutinize their business practices. They shouldn't be able to get away with the violations that occur every single day. Bravo, documentary makers, keep up the good work.
