The ghost of Sam Walton is resurrected-with his own personal chorus of Chinese workers-to sing the praises of consumer utopia.
Meanwhile, two female associates of Wal-Mart #24-2-128, the consumer epicenter of Sprawlville, USA, discover that the Promised Land has turned into a swamp of inequity and empty rhetoric. At a moment when the largest employer in the United States is defending itself against the largest class-action lawsuit in American history, and its anti-union activity is setting a bold low standard in the industry, we watch as two little Davids take on a retail Goliath.
