Costa Rica S.A. (English: Costa Rica, Inc.) is a 2006 small-budget, independent documentary film, directed by Costa Rican philosophy professor Pablo Ortega. The film explores with satirical black-humour a series of polemical aspects of the The Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), such as the inclusion of war weapons as objects of commerce for Costa Rica, a country without an army, or the incorporation of Central American undersea resources as part of the United States’ definition of territory.
The film led to a free-speech controversy in February 2006, when five members of the Costa Rican CAFTA delegation menaced channel 15, part of the University of Costa Rica, with severe legal actions if the channel re-aired the documentary. The University has since aired regularly the film without legal consequences.
