Walmart DVD is mind-blowing. Bravo to Robert Greenwald! MUST SEE.
I knew a lot about the situation and have NEVER set foot in a Walmart store. Still, I learned more from the DVD --and it's NOT "good" more. The juxtaposition of facts and employee interviews with Walmart CEO presentation will remind you of Bush admin bald-faced lies that are exactly opposite the truth of situations.

Now that I've posted an offer to loan this DVD to anyone in my 200+ condo community I hope to convince more people to boycott this business attrocity.

Really, you must see this, buy it, spread it around. It was only 9.99 at Best Buy over the weekend and Greenwald deserves our support for his excellent documentaries exposing Bush and BushCo efforts.

I ordered the 5-pack from the movie site both to support them and to spread the word to family and friends.

"The free market functions effectively only when consumers have all the facts. A brilliant new film by Robert Greenwald tells the real story of the corrosive effects that Wal-Mart wreaks upon the communities in which it operates and the men and women it employs." -Rob Reiner

THE MOVIE BLOG: Zach Clemence is a senior at Norwell High School who screened the film to 130 people after school: "Ultimately what we want is for students here to get involved. They can do that by writing to their congressman, spreading the word about the film, or simply not shopping at Wal-Mart." (11/24)

An "investigative outcry driven by stringent reporting rather than attitude." -Entertainment Weekly

"By the final credits you may want to picket Sam Walton's grave." -Boston Globe
