Robert Greenwald has our enduring admiration for his low-budget, high-impact documentaries on some of the nation’s most-obsessed-over subjects, including Wal-Mart (“Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices”) and Fox News (“Outfoxed”). While his movies enjoy theatrical releases, they really take off as timely DVD phenomena; his use of the medium is like that of a modern day pamphleteer. And his successes in the past have been huge; his 2003 “Uncovered: The War on Iraq,” which exposed the deceptions that went into selling the invasion of Iraq to the public, sold well over 100,000 copies.
