Storyline
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

This film is much more than a Mcdonald's hot coffee spill.
Just like in Inside Job, I was completely unaware of some of the horrendous things big companies get away with.
Also, flabbergasted once again with our government.
Arbitration, Tort Reform, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, I've heard these terms before but never knew what kind of serious harm they are capable of.
This film thoroughly paints a picture.
The only ones who would give this film a bad rating/review are the ones who are pro arbitration and tort reform. The ones who would allow a young woman to get raped, force her to do nothing about it, and not allow her the opportunity for a proper trial due to mandatory arbitration which she was not properly informed of when she got hired.
