    Get Disc 2 instead

    The second disc includes all of disc one in addition to some additional coverage of events since the first disc was published.

    If you want to see this only bother with the disc 2.

    Very interesting documentary

    The story of two ordinary people who humiliated McDonald's in the biggest corporate PR disaster in history. A celluloid record of McDonald's unehtical practices, arrogance and stupidity. This was well edited with news footage, interviews and library footage and keeps the viewer interested until the end. Looking forward to viewing the second disc.
