Description:
Everyone has seen Wal-Mart's lavish television commercials, but have you ever wondered why Wal-Mart spends so much money trying to convince you it cares about your family, your community, and even its own employees? What is it hiding?
WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers and their families, business owners and their communities, in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel... and shop.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Where you spend matters.
Good movie that should make people think about the power of their spending dollars.
Wal-Mart is as dirty as they come. Watch this movie and see what they don't want you to think about.
Rating:  - Somewhat repetetive and tedious
The topic is very interesting and the stories of the victims were interesting and instructive. Multiple views of the same shot were tedious. I began to feel that I was being treated as a rather dim bulb.
Rating: - A Must See Eye Opener
A superb documentary highlighting Wal-Mart's criminal human rights practices both here and abroad (and you've gotta love their union busting tactics that harken back to the '30's), total lack of regard for any environmental laws, their utter lack of concern for the safety of their customers, our tax dollars subsidizing Wal-Mart, the fact that Wal-Mart gives more to lobbying than charity (altho, sadly, neither party is preferred - Republican or Democrat - they're all whores these days) ... there is little that is not touched on in this well-made film. What IS the true cost of low prices?
Urge everyone to see it.
Rating: - Ok but nothing new.
As I viewed the dvd it occured to me that most of the stuff they were revielling about Wal-mart has been around for quite awhile. In fact it was on television last year.
Rating:  - No objectivity whatsoever
This documentary is as biased as they come. Its one and only purpose is to paint Wal-mart as the devil. With zero objectivity, they guide the viewer into learning about the evils of Wal-Mart; and evil they may be but, a little objectivity may have been good. The documentary does raise some interesting things that the general public may not know (I learned quite a few things). The documentary is a bit too long and boring, but interesting nonetheless.
