Two activists take
on McDonald's in the longest trial in English history.
McLibel is the inside story of how a single father and a part-time bar
worker took on the McDonald's Corporation. Filmed over three years, the
documentary follows Helen Steel and Dave Morris as they are transformed
from anonymous campaigners against the fast food giant into unlikely
global heroes. Struggling to defend themselves in the longest trial in
English history, the pair face infiltration by spies, secret meetings
with corporate executives, 40,000 pages of background reading and a
visit from Ronald McDonald.
Using interviews with witnesses and reconstructions of key moments in
court, the film examines the main issues of the trial - nutrition,
animals, advertising, employment, the environment - and the implications
for freedom of speech.
