Colombia is the trade union murder capital of the world. Since 2002, more
than 470 worker leaders have been brutally killed, usually by
paramilitaries hired by private companies intent on crushing the unions.
Among these unscrupulous corporate brands is the poster boy for American
business: Coca-Cola. In an incredible three-year saga, filmmakers Germán
Gutiérrez and Carmen Garcia follow these heroes in a legal game of cat and
mouse. From Bogotá to New York, Guatemala to Atlanta, Washington to Canada,
The Coca-Cola Case maintains the suspense of a hard-fought struggle.


 *If the consumer takes moral responsibility for the product he/she
consumes, then you might want to think twice before drinking that Coke. *

FREE and open to the public
