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. 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.
Join us for a special panel discussion after the film co-moderated by Jan Frel & Amy Ziering. Mr. Frel, a former managing director for AlterNet.org, has covered banking and finance issues for seven years. Ms. Ziering is an Emmy nominated and award-winning documentary filmmaker. Panelists include attorney Brad Seligman, advocate and consumer watchdog Harvey Rosenfield, and law professor John Nockleby.
