Why is Mona Lisa Smiling? The Re-imagination of the Corporation is meant to be a

catalyst for intelligent discourse on the role of business in society. The film explores the

shift away from shareholder primacy toward a purpose-driven, stakeholder-focused

model of capitalism. Informed by the lessons and parallels between our time and the

Renaissance — a global pandemic that prompted reciprocal free market relationships

and expanded philosophical mindsets, fueled by the democratization of knowledge and

power — the film makes the case for more inclusive capitalism and lays the foundation

for the re-imagination of the corporation. The film stars CEOs and thought leaders who

delve into what is required to evolve corporations and why it is essential to our

collective future.
