Hot Coffee, a must-see documentary about the untruths of Tort Reform

HOT COFFEE examines the dangers of so-called “tort reform” and its threat to our civil justice system. Using the now-infamous legal battle over a spilled cup of McDonald’s coffee as a springboard, the film follows four families, including McDonald’s plaintiff Stella Liebeck and KBR/Halliburton plaintiff Jaime Leigh Jones, whose lives have been profoundly affected by their inability to access the courts, and examines the role of corporations and a complicit media in promoting “tort reform.”

HOT COFFEE is available on HBO’s On-Demand service. And, DVDs will be available in the fall. You can sign up to pre-order DVDs here.
