Film Screening: 'Wal Mart: The High Cost of Low Price'

category galway | miscellaneous | event notice author Thursday June 29, 2006 19:17author by Caoimhín Ó Maolallaigh - Green Party Report this post to the editors

Town Hall Main, 12:00 Wednesday 12th July

This is the documentary film sensation that's changing the largest company on earth. The film features the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to survive in a Wal-Mart world. It's an emotional journey that will challenge the way you think, feel...and shop.
A working mother is forced to turn to public assistance to provide healthcare for her two small children. A Missouri family loses its business after Wal-Mart is given over $2 million to open its doors down the road. A mayor struggles to equip his first responders after Wal-Mart pulls out and relocates just outside the city limits. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins!
Producer/Director Robert Greenwald says: "I went into this film knowing very little about Wal-Mart, but I came out furious, saddened and committed to being part of the long-term effort to change the company. It has immense, global corporate influence, over jobs, sweatshops, communities, and the environment. I have been staggered at the power that Wal-Mart exerts over millions of people's daily lives, without any fingerprints!"

Thank you for bringing attention to this film. I saw it recently on RTE2 and thought it good, particularly in explaining international trade. I would like to have or borrow a copy for awareness raising. Could you give me information on how to access it?
