"WAL-MART" Documentary to Be Released

"Wal-Mart Memo Suggests Ways to Cut Employee Benefit Costs" has been a popular article to e-mail this week on the New York Times Web site. Which reminds me that the documentary "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price" will be released the second week of November. The film is directed by Robert Greenwald, who also made "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" (which I haven't seen). What I find exciting about "WAL-MART" is that it's coming out on DVD, and Greenwald is encouraging people to host screenings in their towns. According to the screening list on the movie's official Web site, "WAL-MART" will be shown in churches, schools, cafes and living rooms across the country. You can sign up to host a screening or register to attend one through the movie's Web site.
