The first country to accept McLibel for national TV broadcast was Australia (hats off to SBS TV channel). But then Holland (VPRO) sneaked in and broadcast it in December 1999 before SBS's transmission in February 2000. Since then, it has also been broadcast in Denmark (Jan 2000), Portugal (April 2000) and Greece (Jan 2001). See below for other screenings.
McLibel has now been seen in 23 countries. see the screening schedule for the complete(ish) record of past and future screenings, including film festivals, cable & broadcast transmissions, local video sessions and travelling solar-powered cinemas.
if you can't make it to any of the showings, p'haps you'd care to order a video. we now have a US distributor for dollar-oriented people. if you are an educational institution of any kind in either the US or Australia/ New Zealand, then please contact the relevant distributor at the top of this page. sorry for the confusion.
magazines, campaigning groups or whosoever interested in buying copies in bulk to sell them on should waste no time in emailing OOPS. slipping our flyers into your mailouts would also help the film no end.
