Is Wal-Mart good for America?
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/view/
This program focuses on the extraordinary power Wal-Mart has over its suppliers, effectively allowing it to require them to off-shore manufacturing. I found it more balanced and persuasive than the other films out about the company, and it's what convinced me to encourage people to avoid shopping there. It seems like a lot of the other disturbing things about Wal-Mart flow from this strategy and their excessive power in the marketplace.
