McLibel background

McLibel

A public relations disaster strikes when two ordinary people inadvertently bring down the massive corporation McDonald's, sending shockwaves that will be felt for generations to come.

McDonald's used UK libel laws to silence critics, but two individuals, Helen Steel and Dave Morris, refused to back down. They represented themselves against McDonald's £10 million legal team, exposing the corporation's business practices, from junk food to animal cruelty. Despite being outmatched, they persisted, and the case concluded at the European Court of Human Rights, with a surprising outcome.
