wal-mart: the high cost of low prices

this documentary is completely overwhelming. each 10 minute segment would have been worthy of a full film in itself. the expose covers factory conditions in China, relentless attacks on attempts to unionize, brutal crimes that take place in Wal-Mart parking lots, sexism, racism, poverty wages, Wal-Mart's insistence on its employees using state assistance like medicaid and food stamps, and more jaw-dropping facts. it made me cry and feel inspired. everyone should see this movie.
