31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: some of the world's most unethical corporations. This series is

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: about Amazon. I'm Jake Hanrahan, journalists and documentary filmmaker. Mega

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Corp is produced by H eleven for Cool Zone Media.

34
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Mega Corps Episode zero. This is a sort of prologue

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: if you like. Why well, because I wanted to explain

36
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: a bit about what Megacorp is and isn't before we

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: get stuck into it. I feel the need to do

38
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: this because of the nature of the work involved in

39
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: this series that is reporting on the dishonorable treatment of

40
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: workers and consumers by some of the wealthiest corporations on Earth. Now,

41
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: due to the last few years of political and cultural turmoil,

42
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: it feels like everyone sees everything now only from one

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: point of view, their own. I find that lack of

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: nuance very boring. So let me just be clear that

45
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Megacorp is not made to pander to any one specific

46
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: political ideology or cultural identity. You do you, I'll do me.

47
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: That's fine. Yes, we will be digging into the unethical

48
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: acts of multimillion dollar and sometimes billion dollar corporations, but

49
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we've made this specifically just for anti capitalists.

50
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it's not for them either. What I'm

51
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: trying to say is Megacorp is for everyone. If you

52
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: pay tax, if you work, if you consume, if you

53
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: spend money anywhere. At the very least, I think you

54
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: should be made aware of the scandalous behavior of some

55
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: of the most lucrative companies out there. Then you can

56
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: do with that information what you want. That's up to you.

57
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm not calling for a boycott. I'm not saying you're

58
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 1: a bad person for earning money, and I'm certainly not

59
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: trying to destroy anyone's business. What I am doing with

60
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: Megacorp is trying to show that there must be some

61
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: sort of accountability for corporations that get away with treating

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: people like dirt just because they have a stranglehold on

63
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: any given industry. Now, I guess if Megacorp had to

64
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: be for anyone's specific, it would be for the mistreated

65
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: workers everywhere. But like I said, this is for anyone

66
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: who wants to hear it. Lastly, a bit about me.

67
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: My name is Jake Hanrahan. I'm a journalist, producer and

68
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: documentary filmmaker from Britain. My word is largely focused on conflict,

69
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: crime and politics. The last seven years, I've been reporting

70
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: mostly from frontlines in Syria, Iraq, Ukraine, Kurdistan, palest Iron

71
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: all over the place. You might have seen my work.

72
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: I also run a grassroots conflict journalism outlet called Popular Front.
