The Coca-Cola Case

Synopsis:

In this feature length documentary, directors German Gutiérrez and Carmen
Garcia present a searing indictment of the Coca-Cola empire and its alleged
kidnapping, torture and murder of union leaders trying to improve working
conditions in Colombia, Guatemala and Turkey. The filmmakers follow labour
rights lawyers Daniel Kovalik and Terry Collingsworth and an activist for
the Stop Killer-Coke! campaign, Ray Rogers, as they attempt to hold the
giant U.S. multinational beverage company accountable in this legal and
human rights battle.

Listed below are union leaders at Coca-Cola's Colombian bottling plants who
have been murdered. Hundreds of other Coke workers have been tortured,
kidnapped and/or illegally detained by violent paramilitaries, often working
closely with plant managements.
