Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Cola Wars: Message in a Bottle

Cola Wars: Message in a Bottle

This program examines how brand identity is influenced by consumer perceptions through the struggle between Coca-Cola, icon of American culture, and rivals Qibla Cola and Mecca Cola for market share in Muslim locales. Qibla’s Zafer Iqbal and Mecca’s Tawfiq Mathlouthi tell the story of two opportunistic, politically correct Davids taking on a marketplace Goliath—and each other—while Coke executives share their plan for defense against a commercial threat that is as serious as it is unprecedented. Original BBCW broadcast title: Cola Wars (a.k.a. Message in a Bottle). (51 minutes)
