What Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price Is About

Robert Greenwald's documentary looks at the largest retailer in the world from underneath rather than above, assembling its case out of individual accounts: a family business in the Midwest that could not survive the new store, workers in Florida, a preacher in California, producers in Mexico. The argument is a simple one, that the low price on the shelf gets paid for somewhere by somebody, and the film's work is showing where the bill lands. It was made in 2005, so what it describes is the company as it stood then. Lee Scott, listed here as cast, is the chief executive of that period in archive footage.
