aryville Screening One of Over 3,000 Across the Nation;
Part of National Grassroots Campaign
MARYVILLE – The controversial new film
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price will debut
in Maryville this Thursday as part of an unprecedented grassroots effort that will see over 3,000 screenings across the nation.
The screening – on Thursday, January 26, 2005, at 7:00 pm – will take place at Maryville College’s Lawson Auditorium, located in the basement of Fayerweather Hall. Immediately following, there will be a group discussion about the effect Wal-Mart is having on Maryville, and the entire nation.
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is the newest film from director and producer Robert Greenwald, and the first from his new venture, Brave New Films.
The film takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the every day lives of families struggling to fight against a goliath. From a small business owner in the Missouri to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the story of an assault of families and American values. Current and former employees, managers and executives will tell all about the corporation’s inner-workings. Wal-Mart is based on individual human beings, all over the world, at all levels of society, telling their story in very personal terms.
The event is open to the public. Please RSVP to attend. You can RSVP online here.
