Walmart DVD is mind-blowing. Bravo to Robert Greenwald! MUST SEE.

I knew a lot about the situation and have NEVER set foot in a Walmart store. Still, I learned more from the DVD --and it's NOT "good" more. The juxtaposition of facts and employee interviews with Walmart CEO presentation will remind you of Bush admin bald-faced lies that are exactly opposite the truth of situations.

Now that I've posted an offer to loan this DVD to anyone in my 200+ condo community I hope to convince more people to boycott this business attrocity.

Really, you must see this, buy it, spread it around. It was only 9.99 at Best Buy over the weekend and Greenwald deserves our support for his excellent documentaries exposing Bush and BushCo efforts.

"The free market functions effectively only when consumers have all the facts. A brilliant new film by Robert Greenwald tells the real story of the corrosive effects that Wal-Mart wreaks upon the communities in which it operates and the men and women it employs." -Rob Reiner

THE MOVIE BLOG: Zach Clemence is a senior at Norwell High School who screened the film to 130 people after school: "Ultimately what we want is for students here to get involved. They can do that by writing to their congressman, spreading the word about the film, or simply not shopping at Wal-Mart." (11/24)

An "investigative outcry driven by stringent reporting rather than attitude." -Entertainment Weekly

"By the final credits you may want to picket Sam Walton's grave." -Boston Globe

The San Francisco screening of Robert Greenwald's Wal-Mart the Movie: The High Cost of Low Price was this evening and as an added bonus The Roxie Cinema somehow obtained the movie being trumpeted as the counter-movie called Why Wal-Mart Works: And Why That Makes Some People C-r-a-z-y. According to the USA Today Wal-Mart has been promoting this competing film. It premiered in Bentonville, AR tonight, so I guess I was amongst the first to see it.

I'm here to report that there is no competition folks. I thought the competing film might be a well put together propaganda reel, but in reality the only thing it might convince you to do is sleep. I'm sure it did just that for 10's of people in Bentonville, AR tonight.

I'll start with the good news. Greenwald has managed to put together another good documentary that hits all of the arguments against Wal-Mart and backs them with unimpeachable facts from news agencies, government reports and university research. They show you stories of how this company has negatively effected the lives of people from all walks of life, particularly those which Wal-Mart claims it serves. The common thread throughout the film is the juxtaposition of reality with the statements of Wal-Mart's CEO Lee Scott and Wal-Mart commercials. At the end the film shows you some of the many communities that have united to keep Wal-Mart out and tries to inspire you to join the fight yourself.
