Was this review helpful to you? They took on not only McDonalds but also their formidable legal team which was (needless to say) the best that money could buy.

McLibel is a documentary expose of the fast food industry and the legal systems that protect corporate giants from accountability. The case is mentioned in the brilliantly researched, funny and informative book by Eric Schlosser, 'Fast Food Nation' but the documentary naturally goes into far greater detail.

McDonald's had cowed some pretty big names through this approach (including the Guardian and the BBC) Dave and Helen however were made of stronger stuff. This movie was so informative.

In brief, it tells the story of how two north London activists took on the McDonald's empire and won-if not an outright victory (not initially, at least)- but at the very least caused a major upset to the corporation; caused it some seriously bad publicity, a drop in sales and made people think about its entire business model. Documentary series about the so-called McLibel trial in which the fast food chain McDonalds sued two campaigners for libel over leaflets criticizing the company.

It is an exciting story made into a truly enjoyable film. But this couple firmly believed in their rights. Their big mistake, if you did not want to wade into the legal mess, was picking on McDonald's selectively. They stood up for what they believed in, and didn't want to apologize.

Try again. Documentary series about the so-called McLibel trial in which the fast food chain McDonalds sued two campaigners for libel over leaflets criticizing the company. Disturbing that the powerful corporations often sue in the English courts because this country has such strict libel laws favouring the defendants.Excellent story about David versus Goliath and wins (morally)

It is utterly inspiring, real David and Goliath stuff. An inspirational film about two people who put their freedom and property on the line, in standing up to a system wherein a plaintiff with sufficient funds can extort a false declaration of error from a defendant--a criminal libel system that regularly protects the powerful from public scrutiny and criticism. Two activists campaigning against McDonald's by distributing pamphlets on the streets had their small grassroots group infiltrated by up to seven spies, paid by McDonald's. Guess whose?) The movie spans 15 years and the lives of the 2 activists who wouldn't apologize to McDonalds.

McDonald's preferred tactic at this time was to use UK libel laws to quash any criticism of its practices. With Julia Sawalha, Peter-Hugo Daly, Clive Merrison, Malcolm Sinclair. It's not really about a personal attack on McDonald's per say, it's more about the free speech and libel laws in Britain.

Documentary series about the so-called McLibel trial in which the fast food chain McDonalds sued two campaigners for libel over leaflets criticizing the company. I loved it and encourage everyone to see it. Highly recommended to all.
