Our McLibel / Super Size Me double bill this sunday

Date 2nd Sep 2004

Ultimate Anti-McDonald's Double Helping at the Curzon Soho Cinema, September 5th

 

 why

Because the McLibel defendants have finally made it to the European Court of Human Rights (a mere seven years after the original trial ended).

And because Super Size Me is officially a smash hit. The fourth highest grossing doc of all time. If you work for McDonald's - preferably at Board level - why not come along? There's plenty of openings for volunteers at Spanner Films if you feel like a change of direction after watching the two docs...
