The documentary film Hot Coffee explores the famous McDonald's hot coffee case and presents a side of the case you may not be familiar with.  Filmmaker and public interest lawyer Susan Saladoff uses the legal battle that began with a spilled cup of coffee to investigate what's behind America's zeal for tort “reform.”

AARP is showing the film at multiple locations. See details and registration information below. The film is free to view but space is limited and registration is encouraged. The film will be followed by Q&A regarding proposed Ballot Issue 1: Civil Lawsuit Reform.
