PARD, in cooperation with the Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies, Women's Studies Department, American Studies Program, and the Sociology Department, will be presenting the Robert Greenwald film titled "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price."

The showing will be free and open to the public.

The controversial new film Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price will debut in Pullman this Monday as part of Wal-Mart Premiere Week, an unprecedented grassroots effort that will see over 3,000 screenings across the nation from November 13-19, 2005.

The screening – on Monday November 14 at 7pm– will take place in Todd Hall-Room 130. Immediately following, there will be a group discussion about the effect Wal-Mart is having on Pullman, 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 media. Please RSVP to attend. You can RSVP online using the link below:
