Wal-Mart’s plan to build a large store in a small town is the backdrop for this sharp-edged docu-comedy.

All goes well for the corporate giant until an 11th hour citizens’ rebellion resists the lure of low prices to reveal another side of the bargain–a side which paves over open land, annihilates Main Street businesses, and rolls back wages.

The story goes still deeper–following, over a period of seven years, Greenfield decision contrasted with a town 20 miles away which welcomes the corporation.

The results of decisions made years earlier are clearly documented. Made by an award-winning filmmaker, Steve Alves, who fought in his town’s internationally recognized battle against Wal-Mart.

Personal and incisive, Talking to the Wall examines the issue of big box chain stores, and citizens unwittingly turned into a nation of consumers, with humor and depth. This multi-award winning movie has inspired numerous groups to learn how to organize and defeat Wal-Mart.
