WAL-MART: THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE (2007)

Cast

Plot

A hard-hitting case against Wal-Mart, the market leader amongst American supermarkets, who've taken up the cause of destroying the soul of small town America by setting up huge warehouses just outside city limits, in order to avoid taxes, and undercutting the business of all those small shopkeepers who've hitherto provided the rationale of the town centre. Charges against Wal-Mart include vicious union busting, exploitation of undocumented workers, outsourcing to inhumane factories abroad, racial and sexual discrimination and rampant pollution, even the hands-off Environmental Protection Agency, emasculated under the Bush administration, has fined the company for misconduct. What's more, Wal-Mart's employees are so badly paid that many resort to Medicaid, government housing, food stamps, and other taxpayer-subsidised resources for the poor, a practice allegedly endorsed by Wal-Mart itself. A company run by nothing more than a bunch of rather nasty market rationalizers, people without hearts.....but what did you expect...this is corporate-ville.
