The Coca-Cola Case
2009 · 86 MIN · IMDB 6.4 · 243 VOTES · DIR. German Gutierrez, Carmen Garcia
Overview
Two lawyers and labor rights' activists, Daniel Kovalik of the United Steel Workers of America and Terry Collingsworth of the International Rights Advocates, and their partner Ray Rogers of Corporate Campaign firmly believe that US multinational corporations should be held accountable for the shabby practices of their business associates throughout the world. To lead their battle, they resort to a law dating back to the origin of the American Constitution - The Alien Tort Claims Act - which allows foreigners to file suit in the U.S. against Americans who violate international laws. The film tells the story of their fight against one of America's stellar icons: the Coca-Cola company.

00:46:07 I'm with security at Coca-Cola.
01:06:15 They have the money and people for it.
01:09:52 make money on us as victims.

01:15:03 Then they sent us the text of the agreement.
01:15:34 such a good, respectable company:
