Independent Filmmakers Ron and Robert Galloway to Release ``Why Wal-Mart Works: And Why That Makes Some People C-r-a-z-y''.ATLANTA -- - Film Examines the Success and Positive Contributions of Wal-Mart - Ron and Robert Galloway, producers of "Oflag 64: A P.O.W. Odyssey," today announce their new documentary -- "Why Wal-Mart Works: And Why That Makes Some People C-r-a-z-y" (www.whywalmartworks.com) -- to be released on November 15, 2005 by Hannover House. The documentary explores why Wal-Mart is one of the greatest success stories in business history, how it improves the lives of individual working Americans and their communities, and the social pathology behind the escalating attacks on the company by special interest groups. Initially, Ron Galloway planned to pen a book on the subject, with a focus on the logistics of Wal-Mart's distribution operations. However, he quickly realized that the company's achievements far exceed simply perfecting supply chain management, so the brothers teamed up to create a film that also documents the stories of people who have been impacted by Wal-Mart, both associates and customers. "We believe that Wal-Mart, by providing goods to shoppers at the lowest possible price and playing a positive role in the community, has benefited working families far more than any special interest group," said Galloway. "People vote with their feet, and 138 million people per week decide it's to their benefit to shop at Wal-Mart." Ron Galloway is the producer of "Oflag 64: A P.O.W. Odyssey," a World War II documentary that aired widely on PBS PBS in full Public Broadcasting Service Private, nonprofit U.S. corporation of public television stations.
