Popular media outlet More Perfect Union has released a powerful 11-minute documentary on the FTC’s now-unsealed complaint alleging illegal price discrimination between Walmart and Pepsi. It’s a clear and compelling exposé of how corporate power operates behind closed doors — stacking the deck against small businesses and making things more expensive for everyone.
In the video, More Perfect Union highlights ILSR’s successful effort to unseal the complaint and make public the details of how the conspiracy between Walmart and Pepsi worked. The video features interviews with Stacy Mitchell, who explains the implications of Walmart’s strategy — including shuttered local businesses and higher prices for consumers — and Katie Van Dyck, the attorney who helped us win in court.
