In March 2002, Kraft delivered a lawsuit to a Wicker Park artist
and web designer known as King Velveeda. Kraft claimed that his website was unsavory and its content tarnished its trademark and caused irreparable harm. The artist, Stu Helm, hadinked anything from erotic covers for Screw Magazine to children illustrations for the Texas Board of Education. The documentary, The King, the Lawyers, and the Cheese, follows the life of Stu Helm during a yearlong court battle launched by Kraft Food Holdings. The documentary captures the personal moments of the artist as he struggles
to save his artistic name and questions the notions of wholesomeness and Kraft's control of the definition.
