Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price film screening

MGTVLE, 40 fitzroy street, marrickville
8pm $2 donation

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price is the documentary film sensation that’s changing the largest company on earth. The film features the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to survive in a Wal-Mart world. It’s an emotional journey that will challenge the way you think, feel… and shop.

Released simultaneously in theaters and DVD in November 2005, the film has been seen by millions worldwide. Families, churches, schools, and small busineses owners have screened the film over 10,000 times and the world is taking notice. See the film, share it, and become part of the movement forcing companies to act responsibly.

14th May 2021 – I came across a few cultural documentaries I thought others may be interested to see, so borrowed a projector and talked to the good people of Maggotville and set up these screenings – I think we did four in total.

Reminder – Public Forum Friday 29 February
Visiting US Labor Leader & Unions in the Anti-War Movement

Mark the date in your diary and come along for a great opportunity to hear about the US Labor Movement’s efforts resisting Bush’s war on Iraq and supporting workers and unionists inside Iraq.

Kathy Black, Co-convenor of US Labor Against the War (USLAW) and President of Coalition of LaborPublic  Union Women (CLUW), will be on a National Speaking Tour of Australia between 28 February and 16 March, when she will address the Iraq Peace Rally in Sydney to commemorate the 5th Anniversary of the Iraq War. 

US Labor Against the War ( http://www.uslaboragainstwar.org/) has played an important role within the US mobilising labour movement support for the anti-war campaign, under the slogan “Unions Yes, War No”. USLAW have also made links and supported unions inside Iraq.

The Public Forum on Friday 29 February will be an opportunity for dialogue between Australian and US unions and to hear first hand about USLAW anti-war campaigns as well as the opposition to the Iraqi Oil privatisation laws from unions and workers inside Iraq. Kathy will give a presentation on the real costs of war and what this means for working people in the US and Iraq, following a recent paper by Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes showing that the total cost of the Iraq war to the United States will be $2 trillion or even higher.

10am Friday 29 February
Unions NSW Auditorium
Ground Level, Trades Hall
Enter via Labor Council Building, 377-383 Sussex St, Sydney
Light Refreshments provided following the public forum
