Ho hum.Let me save you $10 for the price of a ticket and offer a brief synopsis of this not-yet-completed film: 
Shots of fat people waddling around the Wal-Mart parking lot. Cut to forlorn downtown ruined by Wal-Mart. 
Quirky, birkenstock-clad town activist who stared Wal-Mart down. 
Wal-Mart execs looking shifty-eyed. 
Interview with a single mother, formerly employed by Wal-Mart, who lost her job when she voted to unionize--she will have a terminally ill child, or chronic eczema, no health benefits, etc., etc. She won't have worked for a year. And she will be shunned, shunned I say, by former friends who still work there. 
Shots of sweatshops. 
Shots of shelves laden with unnecessary consumer goods--just to show us what materialistic pigs we are. 
Interview with mom-and-pop shopowners, whose lives were ruined when Wal-Mart came to town.Inescapable conclusion: Wal-Mart is eeevvviiilll!
Readers are invited to submit their own synopses.
