country will be a true grassroots effort, and we need your help to make it a
success! Please, sign up today to host a screening in your community of
WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price!  GO »

      Have you seen Wal-Mart’s TV commercials? Ever wonder why Wal-Mart
spends so much money trying to convince you it cares? Yeah, you got it. They
don’t want Americans to know the real deal.

      WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price is the blockbuster exposé of this
corporate behemoth.  It was created by Robert Greenwald -- the filmmaker
behind the critically acclaimed Outfoxed and Uncovered: The War in Iraq. In
WAL-MART, Greenwald will take you behind the marketing glitz to expose the
reality of Wal-Mart’s treatment of its workers and their communities.  It
opens a critical debate about corporate power and what communities must do
to control it.

      The premiere of WAL-MART will be an effort of by and for the people of
America.  Instead of big theatres, WAL-MART will premiere in homes,
churches, family businesses, schools, living rooms, community centers, and
parking lots across the country the week of November 13th.

      Exposing the truth about Wal-Mart's devastating impacts on our country
will be a true grassroots effort, and we need your help to make it a
success! Please, sign up today to host a screening in your community of
WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price!

tremendous political cause!  Please sign up to host a screening party in

      America has always been the land of opportunity. But, Wal-Mart's
unchecked growth in recent years has changed something fundamental. Wal-Mart
fights against any increase in the American minimum wage, even as it forces
its Chinese suppliers to pay their workers less than the Chinese minimum
wage. Wal-Mart has come to town after town in America and bankrupted local
businesses, eliminated good paying jobs, and pushed thousands of working
families out of the middle class.

      WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price shines a much-needed light on the
lives of individuals, families and entire towns devastated by the world's
largest corporation. From a small business owner in the Midwest to a
preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, film
crews on three continents document the stories of Wal-Mart's  assault on the
American Dream — and how communities are fighting back.

      The premier of this film in living rooms across America will be an
historic event.  Don’t miss it!  Please signup today to host a screening and
join with tens of thousands who will come together the week of November 13th
to watch and learn, discuss, and organize about how to reduce the high price
of low cost Wal-Mart.

      Thank you so much for all you do!


      Sincerely,
