The film "Deadly Deception" by Debra Chasnoff won an Oscar for "Best
Documentary -- Short Subjects" in 1991. The film was an expose of General
Electric, accusing them of polluting the environment and producing nuclear
weapons in its aerospace division. This led to a
boycott of GE
which was resolved in 1993 when GE sold its aerospace division to Martin
Marietta. The film was the center of much controversy -- Public TV Station
KQED
refused to air the documentary, and Chasnoff's Oscar acceptance
speech was abruptly cut off for a commercial. General Electric was chosen
as one of the
10 Worst Corporations in 1992, and again in 1994.
