Post Screening Discussion with Director


Filmed over three years, the film follows Helen Steel and Dave Morris as the anonymous campaigners turn into unlikely global heroes. 

Struggling to defend themselves in the longest trial in English history, they face infiltration by spies, secret meetings with corporate executives, 40,000 pages of background reading and a visit from Ronald McDonald.

McLibel shows how hamburgers represent the remorseless power of multinational corporations.  The issues of nutrition, animals, advertising, employment, the environment, and freedom of speech are addressed head-on.
