Wal Mart - Der Hohe Preis der Niedrigpreise (2005)
Durch seine Niedrigpreise gelang es dem Wal Mart Konzern, unzählige kleinere Läden aus dem Geschäft zu drängen. Ehemalige Besitzer und Mitarbeiter dieser Läden kommen ebenso zu Wort wie Ex-Mitarbeiter des Konzerns, die u.a. von Ausbeutung, unbezahlten Überstunden, Diskriminierung sowie massiven anti-gewerkschaftlichen Aktivitäten berichten. Neben anderen Problemen wird auch die Situation in den asiatischen Fabriken gezeigt, in denen Arbeiter sieben Tage die Woche für Hungerlöhne dafür sorgen, dass Wal Mart seine Waren zu Billigpreisen anbieten kann.
