| Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the everyday lives of families struggling against the unrelenting squeeze on their communities from the world's largest corporation. From a family business owner in the Midwest to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the intensely personal stories of an assault on families and American values. Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is the new film from Robert Greenwald, the award-winning producer of over 60 films, and the director of the 2004 hit documentaries, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, and Uncovered: The War on Iraq. With Outfoxed, Greenwald took on the most powerful media company in the world; now with Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price he takes on the most powerful company in the world, period. |

Editor's Note
Robert Greenwald (OUTFOXED) continues his expose of evil corporate doings with this documentary, released as part of Wal-Mart Week, a nationwide activist initiative to bring the company's business practices out into the open. From their disturbing morning cheer to their minuscule benefits packages and sweatshop-labor conditions, the documentary addresses the simple question: does America benefit from the presence of this low-priced chain? Employee testimony and statistics make Greenwald's case clear and effective, and the stories of enforced, unpaid overtime and the death of mom-and-pop businesses can hardly fail to leave viewers both saddened and enraged.
