Watched "Walmart, The Cost of Low Prices"

Jim, 27 page internal memos aren't something I want to spend a whole bunch of time reading without reason. You may want to bring one or two of the best points here and start discussion on them.

As for the lawsuit, considering that there would be little upside for Walmart to fight such a lawsuit (get a mutlibillion dollar settlement from a filmmaker that doesn't have 2 cents to his name). In all reality, it would likely give this guy a forum in which he could bring more disgruntled employees into the public light to diss the company.

You didn't notice that he only interviewed disgruntled employees, and none of the "gruntled" ones? If the personal officer was so upset about Walmart, why was he there 17 years?

ecchi, this is a "moore like" movie. I suspect this guy spent a little too much time watching "Roger & me".

As for the "welcome audience", it isn't a question of your local cineplex playing the movie, but that some film festivals and movie review houses have made a big deal over it. These are the people who in influence the public's perception of a film as worthy or not worthy.
