Free film screening: Nov. 15, 2005 @ 7:30 PM, Key Cinemas, 4044 S. Keystone Ave. The controversial new film Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price will debut in Indianapolis area homes, schools and theaters 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. Wal-Mart is the newest film from director and producer Robert Greenwald (Outfoxed,Unprecedented), and the first from his new venture, Brave New Films.
The Indianapolis community is invited to a free screening of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, at 7:30 pm at Key Cinemas, 4044 South Keystone Ave in Indianapolis.
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.

Wal-Mart has launched an aggressive public relations campaign to counter the claims of the film and ongoing opposition, including promotion of a pro-Wal-Mart documentary, Why Wal-Mart Works: And Why That Makes Some People Crazy.
