Burger Culture on Trial
The McLibel trial, the longest case in English legal history, is an unlikely morality tale of our times. In 1990 McDonald's slapped writs on five London activists for allegedly libelling it in a leaflet entitled 'What's Wrong With McDonald's?' The multinational giant had not banked on the dogged determination of Helen Steel and David Morris, the two who refused to apologise and turned the tables, putting the corporation itself on trial.
Updated to include the final verdict, 'McLibel' tells the gripping inside story of this epic clash of cultures and allows the public to judge for itself.
