Review of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005) by Marc W — 18 Aug 2011

"Wal-Mart-- Do More, Earn Less.".

This is a stunning, eye-opening piece of filmmaking from Director Robert Greenwald. Wal-Mart: The High Cost Of Low Price is absolutely unflinching in shedding light on much of corporate Wal-Mart's dirty ad downright nasty little secrets to success. This film is a truly sensational and thought-provoking documentary that bashes Wal-Mart and shines an intensely negative light on the entire middle and upper-echelon of the company. Everything from the political downfalls to the corporate downfalls to workers rights, employee wages, short-staffing, money-grubbing, environmental woes, illegal staffing and most of all, Wal-Mart's effect on small American towns and their local economies. As a Wal-Mart employee as a supervisor, I had to see this and it made me feel as if I was working for a monster of a company. This film really gets it's point across, the research is very well documented and the facts are straight and truly startling. I'm a firm believer in the opinionated statement that Sam Walton-The founder of Wal-Mart-would be truly and utterly disappinted at what has become of his company. Check this one out, it's packed with interesting facts and, I guarantee it will make you look at Wal-Mart in a different way.
