DESCRIPTION:RED VIC MOVIE HOUSE   1727 Haight St.   San Francisco, CA 94117   
 415-668-3994   http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com   Sunday, August 28 – 
 Tuesday, August 30  McLibel   Dir. Frann Armstorng UK 2005  McLibel 
 documents the highly publicized court case between the McDonald’s 
 corporation and a former postman and a gardener from London (Helen Steel 
 and Dave Morris). McDonald’s tried to sue the two for distributing 
 leaflets that attacked all aspects of the corporations’ Mcbusiness. In 
 what became the longest trial in English legal history, the "McLibel 2" 
 represented themselves against McDonald’s $19 million legal team. The 
 result was a huge corporate PR disaster, with every aspect of the 
 corporation’s business cross-examined: from junk food and Mcjobs, to 
 animal cruelty, environmental damage and the company’s advertising to 
 children. Meanwhile, outside the courtroom, Dave brought up his young son 
 alone and Helen supported herself by working nights in a bar. Filmed over 
 ten years, McLibel features reenactments of key courtroom scenes that were 
 directed by Ken Loach. It addresses the power multinational corporations 
 wield over our everyday lives and offers two unlikely heroes who are 
 changing our McWorld. (85m)  Sun: 2:00, 4:00, 7:15, 9:15; Mon & Tues: 7:15,
