BOX 348-359 | "Is Wal-Mart Good for America?," 2004 | ||||||||||||
The retail chain Wal-Mart and the role the store plays in the American economy is explored in "Is Wal-Mart Good for America?." The documentary details the rise of Wal-Mart and how its ethos of cheap prices and high-volume sales lead to it becoming the largest retailer in the world. The film details how Wal-Mart’s size allows it to dictate manufacturing in the United States and China. The demands Wal-Mart places on American companies in lowering prices often leads to those companies looking overseas to China to exploit cheaper labor for lower production costs. Materials include interview transcripts, production bibles, research, correspondence, and notes. | |||||||||||||

BOX 360-375 | "Juggling Work and Family," 1996-2002 | ||||||||||||
"Juggling Work and Family" examines the impact of working people’s struggle to reconcile workplace expectations with family needs and chronicles progressive efforts by corporations and labor unions to alleviate the pressure for working couples and single parents. Material concerning subject scouting trips and shoot logistics in several different states form a large part of this subseries and documents the many locations, workplace initiatives, and companies the production company explored as potential subjects for this film. Employers and unions featured in this documentary and well-represented in the records include Hewlett-Packard Company, Baxter International, Marriott International, New York City’s Local 1199 Service Employees International Union, and several Boston, Massachusetts based law firms, Goodwin Procter, chief among them. Notes and scouting reports for Johnson and Johnson are also included in this subseries. Several files reflect publicity efforts Smith used for this film and include information on screening events and a partnership with the public relations firm, Goodman Media International. The evolution of this film’s concept and the various segments’ focus is particularly well documented in a file containing feedback from the film’s first rough-cut and files containing segment write-ups. | |||||||||||||
