West Milford - Join Sustainable West Milford on Thursday, Dec. 17, for the third in a six part Environmental Film Series covering environmental and sustainability issues including energy, water, organic foods, the importance of buying local, and more. Handouts and Web site links will be available for attendees to learn more and take action. “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is a feature length documentary that uncovers a retail giant’s assault on families and American values,” says the film’s Web site, www.walmartmovie.com. “The film dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a Goliath. A working mother is forced to turn to public assistance to provide healthcare for her two small children. A Missouri family loses its business after Wal-Mart is given over $2 million to open its doors down the road. A mayor struggles to equip his first responders after Wal-Mart pulls out and relocates just outside the city limits. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins! Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films take you on an extraordinary journey that will change the way you think, feel… and shop.” Running time is 98 minutes. There will be time following the film for open group discussion.
