McLibel

By Wendy Ide

Already shown on television, McLibel now gets a cinematic release. A documentary about the long-running court battle between the fast food giant McDonald’s and the gardener and postman who refused to be bullied, this likeable film is the flipside of the bombastic Michael Moore style of activism — mild-mannered but unmovable, impassioned but resolutely down-to-earth. Even though we all know how the story ends, this is a very watchable little film about a big battle.
