Anyone seen the film yet? I saw a free screening of it last night at the University of Michigan. I knew WalMart was crap...but I didn't realize the statistics that the film released. WOW...
It was playing at a college I was visiting, but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend. I am looking around my area for theatres playing it.
Save me a turkey while you're at it. Under protest from me, we don't do American Thanksgiving, we do the Canadian one on Columbus Day.
I want to see it really really badly. How, how, HOW can I see it?? It's not in any theatres here, no video stores, nothing.
You can order it online, I believe. It's out on DVD now. check out the movie's site: www.walmartmovie.com. i haven't seen it yet either, but it's sounds like a really important film.
Hey on that same website you can find movie screenings that people are hosting at halls and in their homes. It's so freakin' sweet. My roommates and I are going to one this weekend. Thanks for the address!
I saw it last night, I've boycotted Wal*Mart openly for 2 years, but was still suprised by some of the figures. I'm glad they focused on the global scale of the company. it's scary. The only thing that sucks about the movie as that the people how are going to watch it already have an opinion against walmart (collectively anyway).
and that's why you need to convince people who don't have an opinion to see it. also, seeing this movie just gives you more fuel for your anti-walmart movement. when people ask you, "what's so bad about wal-mart anyway?" you now will have even more ammo to fire at them.
I saw some previews to it, and they showed it after school, but I didn't go (even though I kind of wanted too, I didn't have a ride).
I've heard alot about the film and am looking forward to seeing it although I haven't yet. However, I did see a new documentary that has recently come out called the corporation. It's amazing. I'm not going to go into detail, but It basically covers the broader problem that walmart is one of the key players of. Adressing elements of structural power it shows how even CEO's are unable to tame these beasts.
