Robert Greenwald takes you on an extraordinary journey that will change the way you think, feel - and shop. The film dives into the deeply emotoional and personal stories from everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight the goliath. A working mother is encouraged by her employer, Wal Mart 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. Numerous other small businesses (hardware stores, IGA, etc) tell their stories of invading Wal Marts who uprooted them swiftly and devalued their property. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins!
Most exciting in this doc are the variety of voices who tell the story - activists, Republicans, business owners, experts, CEOs, EPA workers, and politicians. It's thrilling to see how Wal Mart harms even those who favor business and free market capitalism. Watch the trailer and get more info!
