Oakton Hosts Wal-Mart Documentary Premiere
The public is invited to a free screening of a controversial new documentary, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 16, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price features employees, managers, and executives talking about their company, and shows how many U.S. families struggle to compete against the retail conglomerate. Following the 95-minute screening, Pioneer Press film critic Bruce Ingram will moderate a Q-and-A session with producer Devin Smith of Brave New Films.
Oakton is among the 3000+ organizations sponsoring premiere screenings of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. The film is directed by Robert Greenwald, whose previous films include Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism and Uncovered: The War on Iraq.
