I know about a lot of the stuff that's in the movie already, especially about how they pressure companies to lower prices (and don't necessarily pass along the savings..) and how they come into small towns and put everyone else out of business - which, to be honest, is the residents' fault for allowing it.

Anyway, I'd like to see the movie.

In the movie they profiled a community that did just that! They fought the Walmart development in their area. It was an eye opener. That is for sure
