[Peace] Walmart Movie Premiere This Sunday

[Kent Yates]

Folks,

We will be showing the new movie "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" 
this coming Sunday at 3 PM in Rm. 126 of the Library and Information 
Science Building on the University of Illinois campus.  The building is 
located at 501 East Daniel Street (Corner of 5th and Daniel).  Enter 
through the East doors.

This controversial movie was produced and directed by Robert Greenwald, 
an independent film-maker who was shocked when he found out that his 
neighbor, who worked at Wal-Mart, had gotten instructions from his 
supervisors there on how to fill out the forms to obtain 
government-funded health care.  His investigations led him to many parts 
of the world uncovering sweat-shops, former Wal-mart personnel who tell 
unflattering stories about their former employer, and small towns and 
and small-town stores he says were hurt by Wal-Mart.
