Part two of The Yes Men saga is getting a theatrical release! They’re like Bond now and they can’t be stopped! Opens Friday in London, October 7 in the US. Full details on The Yes Men Fix The World official film site.
I stole the following description from Signal Fire.
Everyone’s favorite group of political pranksters are coming to the big screen. The Yes Men Fix the World premiered at the Sundance film festival to sold out crowds and standing ovations. The film follows a couple of activists as they break into the world of big business and pull outrageous pranks that “highlight the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet.”
The Yes Men investigate why and how our society has created a market that makes doing the right thing nearly impossible. They take on some of the worlds biggest and baddest corporations, and relentlessly fight to break the cycle of ignorance. This funny, and hope-filled documentary will empower audiences and is another victory in the war against corporate greed.
I conned Mike Bonanno of The Yes Men into posing as a ninja a few years ago in adds for martial arts equipment supplier Tiger Claw (the ninja uniform was later used in the 2004 NYC RNC actions) to co-incide with the release of the first The Yes Men film. Those ads ran in Kung Fu Magazine and Black Belt. Here’s an out-take from the session that I rather like.
