McLibel background

McLibel

Two ordinary individuals orchestrate a monumental upset against McDonald's, inflicting the largest corporate public relations catastrophe of all time.

McDonald's used UK libel laws to suppress criticism, but sued Helen Steel and Dave Morris instead. The "McLibel Two" represented themselves against McDonald's £10 million team, questioning every aspect of the corporation's business. Despite being outmatched, they refused to apologize, sparking a David-and-Goliath battle that lasted seven years and concluded at the European Court of Human Rights.
