It made me feel a little helpless - is there a way to escape it all? Will I feel guilty next time I use something that I can't trace it's origin? It also sort of made me want to move to that Amish community they talked about.<br /><br />I loved the ending that gives hope about opposing Wal-Marts. But I was a little disheartened at one thing. I just happened to catch "Brampton, Ontario" as one of the cities that had claimed "victory" in opposing the building of a Wal-Mart. The film was made in 2005. There were already TWO Wal-Marts in Brampton by then.<br /><br />I know documentaries are biased - they are meant to be. And I don't doubt much of what they presented was true. But it makes me question the credibility when I see something that is false... ah, that sense of hopelessness reappears again.<br /><br />But a fantastic piece to make you rethink and consider your spending habits and the world of the corporation. Thanks for the recommendation!Terri-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017902280518435023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014474678124821723.post-27756287909864088692009-05-15T23:26:00.000-04:002009-05-15T23:26:00.000-04:00Have you seen the WalMart documentary "The High Co...Have you seen the WalMart documentary "The High Cost of Low Prices"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
