The documentary shows the development of the contemporary business corporation, from a legal entity that originated as a government-chartered institution meant to affect specific public functions to the rise of the modern commercial institution entitled to most of the legal rights of a person. The documentary concentrates mostly upon North American corporations, especially those in the United States. One theme is its assessment of corporations as persons, as a result of an 1886 case in the United States Supreme Court in which a statement by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite led to corporations as "persons" having the same rights as human beings, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Oscar is the nickname given by the narrator (Tim Allen) to a young chimpanzee in his toddler years. He is part of a close-knit tribe of chimpanzees. They occupy a forest territory which is rich in native fruits, nuts, and figs, among other things. The chimps hunt small tree monkeys, and they also eat termites collected with primitive tools made from sticks. They also use rocks as tools to crack nuts. Oscar is tended by his mother, nicknamed Isha, and from her he begins learning many things about how to survive in the jungle. In the chaos of an attempted raid by a rival gang of chimpanzees led by 'Scar', Isha is injured and separated from the group and her son. As told by the narrator, Isha is most probably the victim of a nocturnal leopard.

En 2008, Mike Campbell – l’un des derniers fermiers blancs au Zimbabwe face au violent programme de réforme agraire – prend le risque sans précédent d’attaquer le Président Robert Mugabe devant le tribunal du SADC (Communauté de Développement Sud-Africain) afin de défendre ses droits. Son exploitation agricole emploie plus de 500 travailleurs et abrite également leurs familles. Mike Campbell accuse Mugabe et son gouvernement de discrimination raciale et de violation des Droits de l’Homme. Embarqués dans un procès hors du commun, Mike et sa famille vont devoir faire face à la violence et à la cruauté du régime du dictateur. Ce documentaire retrace leur combat.
