McLibel

    Documentary as part of N5M3 TV (Bellissima on Salto A1 local television) 1999, about the legal proceedings around the McSpotlight campaign. The McLibel Trial is the infamous British court case between McDonald's and a former postman and 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.
