Description:
Seinfeld mocked it.
Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than
fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald's
coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens
have taken advantage of America's legal system, but is
that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to
Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who
spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald's, while exploring how and
why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort, and to
what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited
from spilling hot coffee. RSVP: http://www.acslaw.org/SFLHotCoffeeRSVP
