FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 7:00 PM Films for Peace joins with Common Peace to present: the film: "McLibel"
This version of "McLibel" (updated in Feb. 2005) is the true story of a postman and a gardener who took on McDonald's and wouldn't say "McSorry" in a legal battle described as "the biggest corporate PR disaster in history." McDonald's loved using the UK's libel laws to suppress criticism. Major media organizations like the BBC and The Sun had crumbled and apologized. But then McDonald's sued penniless activists, Helen Steel and Dave Morris who represented themselves against McDonald's American, $19 million, legal team. It was filmed over ten years by a no-budget team with key courtroom scenes directed by Ken Loach. McLibel is not about hamburgers. It is about the power multinational corporations wield over our everyday lives and two unlikely heroes who are changing McWorld. It's the story of two people who would not say, "McSorry". A true David-and-Goliath tale. Hilariously, dramatic. Riveting" -SF Weekly distributed by www.cinemalibrestudio.com Films for Peace - NEW LOCATION!
