(Mon 4th / Doors open 7.30pm, film starts at 8pm. £3/4 though nobody turned away for lack of funds)

This months film night takes a look at supermarkets and asks, "what is the true cost of low price?" The event features a speaker from the BOGOFs campaign (A locally focused campaign group run by local residents/volunteer to say 'No!' to the proposal of yet another supermarket owned outlet on Gloucester Road) and an activist who was using peaceful direct action to oppose the building of a Tesco in Shepton Mallet.

The feature documentary show is 'Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price'. Wal-Mart (owners of Asda) comes under director Robert Greenwald's focus as he dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a Goliath. A working mother is forced to turn to public assistance to provide healthcare for her two small children. A Missouri family loses its business after Wal-Mart is given over $2 million to open its doors down the road. A mayor struggles to equip his first responders after Wal-Mart pulls out and relocates just outside the city limits. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins! "...makes its case with breathtaking force." Boston Globe
