Any company with huge power is never a great thing. While watching this DVD can’t exactly stop Walmart, it may make you think when buying something from them. I’m a huge fan of documentaries and watched this DVD this week and it’s truly fascinating. This is what it’s about:

WAL-MART: THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE is a feature length documentary that uncovers a retail giant’s assault on families and American values.

The film dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a goliath. 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 and Brave New Films take you on an extraordinary journey that will change the way you think, feel — and shop.

Here is the trailer:

I hired it at DVD Nouveau in Newlands, go and get it if you’re keen for a chilled night in. Well, with a bottle of Jack by your side
