McLibel: Two People Who Wouldnt Say Sorry (2005 documentary)

The McLibel Trial is the infamous British court case between McDonald's and a former postman & a gardener from London (Helen Steel and Dave Morris). It ran for two and a half years and became the longest ever English trial. The defendants were denied legal aid and their right to a jury, so the whole trial was heard by a single Judge, Mr Justice Bell. He delivered his verdict in June 1997.

A fascinating documentary of two people who took on both the UKs un-balanced libel legal system and multinational McDonalds corporation...on their own!
