Review of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005) by Jamesb. — 16 Nov 2005
This is a documentary that sheds light on the many things that we already suspected about the retail giant. I wasn't taken in by every aspect of the movie, such as the "poor little employee" stance against the big-bad employer.
...but at the end of the day (and the end of the movie), it was quite enlightening. Pay close attention to some of the statistics, according to the film, such as the Walton family (worth 102 billion dollars) donating less than 1% of their worth to charity as compared to Bill Gates' 58%.
The film claims that there is nearly 27,000,000 sq. ft. of empty Wal-Marts sitting around the country collecting dust. You will not feel that you have wasted your time by watching this film.
