“The Postman and Gardener Who Took on McDonald's, and Won.”
A deep dive into the historic 1997–2005 libel lawsuit, wherein fast-food conglomerate McDonald's sued environmental activists Helen Steel and David Morris over a critical factsheet. It became the longest trial in English legal history and a major free-speech PR disaster for the corporation.
