“Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price” takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers and their families, business owners and their communities, in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel…and shop.
The film takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the every day lives of families struggling to fight against a goliath. From a small business owner in Missouri to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on 3 continents bring the story of an assault of families and American values.
Current and former employees, managers and executives will tell all about the corporation's inner-workings. The film is based on individual human beings, all over the world, at all levels of society, telling their story in very personal terms. |
