McLibel

 

UK 1998, 55/ 85 minutes
Dir. Franny Armstrong
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Documentary

Topics: Politics, Educational Resource.

 

Aroview: The true story of England's most protracted court case that witnessed the all-powerful McDonalds hamburger empire file a libel suit against two London activists for distributing leaflets critical of its operations. Cross-examines the grey area of 'civil liberties' with an unsurprising 'little-guy' bias that is both hilarious and disturbing in its exposure of big business arrogance and corporate intimidation.
