'McLibel: Two Worlds Collide' is the inside story of the single father
and the part-time bar worker who took on the McDonald's Corporation.
Filmed over three years, the documentary follows Helen Steel and Dave
Morris as the anonymous campaigners turn into unlikely global heroes.
Struggling to defend themselves in the longest trial in English history,
they face infiltration by spies, secret meetings with corporate
executives, 40,000 pages of background reading and a visit from Ronald
McDonald.
The 52-minute documentary uses interviews with witnesses and
reconstructions of key moments in court (directed by Ken Loach) to
examine the main issues in the trial (nutrition, advertising,
employment, animals, environment), as well as the implications for
freedom of speech.
McLibel is not about hamburgers. It is about remorseless power of
multinational corporations. Worth six years of your life?
