Press: Taking On a Giant (Whistleblowers Welcome) - NYT

The New York Times > Movies > Taking On a Giant (Whistleblowers Welcome): "Their plan is to depict what they and a growing number of critics perceive to be Wal-Mart's sins against society: unfair competition and erosion of the fabric of communities; exploitation of its American workers, and of the government welfare programs many rely on to supplement their wages and benefits; union busting; reliance on suppliers with sweatshops overseas; and environmental negligence - among others.

"They also intend to show how the retailer exerts its outsized influence on American culture through the so-called 'Wal-Mart effect,' by limiting the choices of products like clothing, music - and movies - that are available to consumers."
