Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is the newest film from director and producer Robert Greenwald, and the first from his new venture, Brave New Films.



The film takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the every day lives of families struggling to fight against a goliath. From a small business owner in the Missouri to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the story of an assault of families and American values. Current and former employees, managers and executives will tell all about the corporation’s inner-workings. Wal-Mart is based on individual human beings, all over the world, at all levels of society, telling their story in very personal terms.

The screenings are organized by a historic alliance of labor unions, small businesses, churches and progressive groups who have all come together to tell the true story of Wal-Mart's toll on American workers and communities—and to push for change.

Why Wal-Mart? As the world's largest corporation, Wal-Mart has single-handedly lowered the bar for working families in the global economy. By bringing together allies from every sector, this campaign offers the unique opportunity to force real reform in Wal-Mart, and beyond. And as we prepare for 2006, it shows how the progressive economic values that built this country are so badly needed once again.

As Congressman George Miller put it in the introduction to a Congressional report on Wal-Mart:

There's no question that Wal-Mart imposes a huge, often hidden, cost on its workers, our communities, and U.S. tax-payers...And Wal-Mart is in the driver's seat in the global race to the bottom, suppressing wage levels, workplace protections, and labor laws.2

Miller's Congressional inquiry found that Wal-Mart's full time employees are paid so little that the average Wal-Mart store costs American tax-payers over $400,000 in emergency health care, rent assistance, nutrition programs and educational services for employees and their families.3

Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price was produced for less than half of what Wal-Mart spends on PR in a single day,4 but it has clearly hit a nerve. Wal-Mart is pouring millions of dollars into PR firms and political consultants to try to stamp out this fire.5 And it's no wonder—it's a powerful movie.

The film features real stories told by the people who lived them: Wal-Mart employees (from executives to floor level) shocked by abuse and discrimination, family owned businesses blown away by the Wal-Mart storm, even sweatshop workers in China and Bangladesh who produce the Wal-Mart apparel.
