Corporation is a Canadian business documentary television series which aired on CBC Television in 1975. It offered a rare behind-the-scenes look at the internal workings of the Steinberg supermarket chain's business operations and departments. Most of the footage was filmed in 1969, and released in the early 1970s.
This series broadcast all but one of the National Film Board of Canada documentary films on the Steinberg grocery company, documenting the business life of the company.[1] The films received co-operation and involvement from company leader Sam Steinberg. One of the documentaries, "After Mr. Sam", ran almost 78 minutes long and was not broadcast on CBC during this run.[2] All of the films have been digitized and made available for public viewing on the NFB's website.
