Wal-Mart looks at its impact on economy

BAD REPUTATION The world's largest company is trying to save its image after accusations that it destroys communities, creates retail sprawl and that low worker benefits squeeze state coffers

AP , NEW YORK

What could make things worse is Robert Greenwald's scathing documentary called Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices, which will have a limited theatrical release on Nov. 4 in New York and Los Angeles and then go to a week of screenings at 7,000 locations including churches, homes and libraries across the country organized by Wal-Mart critics.

Organizers hope to use the movie as a tool to accelerate the movement against Wal-Mart.
