“Talking to the Wall” is documentary film maker Steve Alves’ account of Greenfield’s 1992 battle against Wall-Mart which made it the first town in the country to successfully reject Wall-Mart’s advances. Engaging, beautifully edited, and fact-filled, this documentary reminds us of what’s so special about Greenfield(!) I couldn’t find this DVD in the library, but now I have a copy, so am happy to lend to anyone who’s interested. You can also buy it or read more on the web site (above). 57 mintues, or so.

(additional note): Despite my long love-affair with Greenfield, MA, I came across this DVD while searching for Wall-Mart locations in Massachusetts for some Indian cousins visiting from England . . .
