Very good documentary IMO. I would highly recommend it even though it's two hours long and has tons of commercials. Very good jounalism showing both sides of the story. Good analysis on the business aspect, community, politics, legalities, foreign diplomacy, and even cultural differences.
I'm not sure when it will be re-aired though. Sorry.

I just saw this as I was flipping channels today. Didn't watch it, though.

That's probably the basic idea.

There looks to be a similar program airing tonight on PBS, on the Frontline show:
Is Wal-Mart Good For America?
Looks like it airs at 9 PM EST this evening. Probably worth checking out.
