Don’t Miss Movie Blows Lid off Tort Reform

June 9th, 2011. By AbiK

Think you really know what happened with that McDonald’s Hot Coffee lawsuit? You’re about to learn the part of the story that wasn’t covered in the news…

In the ‘blow the lid off the top’ genre of documentaries, this summer’s sure-to-be cult favorite movie is…

More insidious than Big Oil and fracking…

More damning than the water movie “Flow” …

More frightening than genetically modified food…

And it’s going to make you think a lot more about tort reform and what it means to you and me. About caps on awards and about mandatory arbitration. About protecting your rights. And about what it’s been like for four individuals and their families to have tried to stand up for themselves in the name of justice.

Do not miss “Hot Coffee”. A documentary by Susan Saladoff. The Washington Post calls it a “stunning debut”. Variety calls it an “Eye-opening indictment”. And LawyersandSettlements.com calls it about time—and a much-needed reality check on our legal system.

“Hot Coffee” is premiering on HBO on June 27th. Check your listings. For more information, visit hotcoffeethemovie.com.
