Truth has a stunning way of electrifying human beings. Some people shut their thinking down, get scared and run from it. Others turn to face it. Attorney, filmmaker Susan Saladoff serves up caffeine in the form of truth in her film "Hot Coffee". I encourage you to challenge your assumptions and watch the film as soon as you can. I saw it last week at the Los Angeles Film Festival and my DVR is set to record it on HBO tonight so I can watch it again.
I thought I knew the facts about the 15 year old case of a woman who spilled hot McDonalds coffee on her lap and subsequently sued McDonalds. I was brainwashed just like the majority of other Americans to think it was a frivolous case - until
a) I saw the photos of the actual burns (skin grafs required to heal)
b) learned that McDonalds had received many similar complaints of spilled McDonald's coffee causing serious skin burns (over 700 to be exact)
c) learned the mechanics, intent and truth behind those "Mandatory Arbitration" agreements you might be signing when you start a new job.
Watch the trailer, then see this film and leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.
