OWLS provide free screening of new

Walmart documentary

November 10, 2005

Several upcoming events sponsored by Miami University Hamilton student organizations include a free screening of the new documentary "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price."

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the Organization for World Wide Learners will provide a free screening of the documentary beginning at 11:15am in Room 200 Mosler.

Movie reviewer Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times writes, "'Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price' is an engrossing, muckraking documentary about the retail giant that's been called "the world's largest, richest and probably meanest corporation." But if you're expecting an angry diatribe, you're going to be disappointed. Instead, the predominant feeling coming off the screen in the latest film from director Robert Greenwald is a kind of baffled disenchantment and sadness."

The documentary is produced and directed by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films.
