The Yes Men Fix the World

Gli Yes Men aggiustano il mondo

The basic idea is simple: pass yourself off as representatives of a multinational or a fake company in order to take part in conferences and appear on TV shows where you make fun of international finance, revealing how it's really run. This may not seem easy, but Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, the Yes Men of the film title, pull it all off masterfully. In this sequel feature, they pretend to be managers and spokesmen of Exxon, the WTO, and Dow, as well as members of the National Petroleum Council who present a new fuel obtained from the bodies of environmental disaster victims. Irreverent and intelligent, the film won the audience prize in the Panorama category at the 2009 Berlinale.
