Monday, November 14th from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in Textor 101, Students for a Just Peace, IC Students for Fair Trade, and the Living Wage Coalition will be hosting a special screening of "War-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" in collaboration with a screening campaign occurring throughout the United States.

This new Robert Greenwald film "takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the everyday lives of families struggling to fight Goliath. From a small business owner in the Midwest to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the intensely personal stories of an
assault on families and American values” (http://www.walmartmovie.com).

A panel discussion will follow the screening and students, faculty and staff are invited to come view the film and share their thoughts or personal experiences on Wal-Mart and corporate America.
