An 
company.
Tremendous, thought-provoking film. Not as sinister as Big Brother in Orwell's '1984' but an impressive and lighter look at how certain segments of the establishment can influence society via a mixture of nationalism and religion.
A quality cast with original music and WOW clothes design. A film that deserves to be called a 'classic'.
