Film Description



This fast-paced, outrageous docu-drama follows Hannah in her shopping quest for a shirt and some eggs. Contrasting Wal-Mart and local markets, her journey uncovers the truth about the people, animals and money behind the products we purchase.

Using rare footage from Chinese sweatshops and hellish conditions in the worst hen houses, this film exposes what mega-corporations don’t want people to see.

While showing viewers a true alternative to supporting sweatshops, animal abuse, and the decline of local businesses, Hannah’s search ends with a sexy surprise, as she finds the metrics behind buying local to be better for her conscience—and her love life.
