Winner of the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlin International Film
Festival, The Yes Men Fix the World is a screwball true story about the
satirical activist team the Yes Men. Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno's
theatrical performances take place on unusual stages. Dressed in thrift-store
suits, posing as top executives of corporations they consider criminal, the Yes
Men lie their way into business conferences and parody their corporate targets
in outrageous, yet strangely plausible ways. They do everything they can to
wake up their audiences, at the conferences and through the media coverage of
their pranks, to the danger of letting greed run our world.

vigilante justice. Media-saavy pie-to-the-face." - USA Today

Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo
