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.
