Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price
Robert Greenwald, the director of the 2004 guerilla documentaries Outfoxed (about FOX News) and Uncovered (about the Iraq war) is setting his sights on what might be the biggest target: Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price looks at the company with 1.5 million workers, 3500 stores, and $10 billion in net profits.
Greenwald is profiled in the New York Times in Taking on a Giant (Whistleblowers Welcome). The making and distribution of this film is unusual, if not unique; it's being shown in November in homes, churches, and local businesses across the country on DVD, organized by a coalition of groups including CLUE, AAMIA, Interfaith Worker Justice, Sojourners, MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, Democracy for America, Progressive Democrats of America, Campaign for America's Future, the National Education Association, the Sierra Club, Business Ethics Network, Americans for Health Care, Global Exchange, SEIU, UFCW (with the Wake Up Wal-Mart campaign), ACORN, LAANE, the Petroleum Manufacturers Association of America, and the American Independent Business Association.
