There's a breaking story today about the leaking of an internal
Wal-Mart memo that reveals the company's plans to put "unhealthy" workers off the payroll in favor of younger, more jockish types (read: teenagers), as well as reducing 401(k) benefits.
As that develops, I'm curious to see what dirt filmmaker Robert Greenwald (
Outfoxed) will turn up in his upcoming documentary about the retail behemoth. The DVD arrives on November 13, the same day that The Disinformation Company will release Greg Spott's
Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, a behind-the-scenes companion book about the making of Greenwald's film, which the press release describes as "a nine-month journey filled with breakthrough moments and unexpected challenges. Given unlimited access to the filmmakers, Spotts reveals the new tactics and technologies that are revolutionizing political filmmaking, offering inspiration for aspiring filmmakers and activists."
