The producer and director, Susan A documentary by Saladoff《Hot coffee》On 27 June (Monday) at 9:00 p.m., it was launched on HBO. The documentary focused on the 1994 Baker case against McDonald's. Stella Ms. Liebeck was accidentally burned with a hot cup of coffee while at McDonald's meal, and was subsequently awarded US$ 2.9 million by a jury. the new york daily news review stated that perhaps bystanders would shake their heads in anger to suggest that the accident should have been lebeck's own fault, and that it would have been ridiculous to blame mcdonald for all of her awards. the pictures and interviews in the ministry's documentary were designed to dispel those thoughts and to show the real scars, as if they were “the terrible mark of the brutal war”. The McDonald's coffee case has been routinely cited by the media as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of the legal system. We will show how this case became so popular in the media, who funded the effort and to what end. We will tell the truth and let the audience decide if spilling hot coffee is really as profitable as they might otherwise believe. Written by Anonymous . Most people think they know the "McDonald's coffee case," but what they don't know is that corporations have spent millions distorting the case to promote tort reform. HOT COFFEE reveals how big business, aided by the media, brewed a dangerous concoction of manipulation and lies to protect corporate interests. By following four people whose lives were devastated by the attacks on our courts, the film challenges the assumptions Americans hold about "jackpot justice." Written by Hot Coffee
