Description: The world's largest family consists of the nearly 1,300,000 people who work for Wal-Mart and service nearly 138-million shoppers every week. Consumers love a bargain, and their quest to save money has helped build Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. into the world's top retailer. From the company's humble beginnings in rural Arkansas to its leadership position in the economy, Wal-Mart has earned both a legion of supporters and a score of detractors. Some claim that Wal-Mart's "always low prices" is bad for competitive retailers, while others feel that consumers should be allowed to decide with their pocketbooks. Regardless, no one can deny that Wal-Mart has made an impressive impact on America while helping millions of families and shoppers on a budget.

Documentary producers Ron and Robert Galloway present an insider's look at the world's largest company, and how Wal-Mart's quest for better pricing has created new efficiencies in distribution and an overall stronger marketplace. What makes Wal-Mart work? Is it better pricing, convenience, quality and selection? Perhaps, but the Galloways discover that the incredible family of Wal-Mart Associates may well be the company's greatest asset of the all.

"We didn't get where we are today by being like everyone else and driving the middle of the road. We became Wal-Mart by being different, radically different" - Wal-Mart C.E.O. Lee Scott
