Gonzo filmmakers and political activists the Yes Men (otherwise known as Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno) will appear in person at the Coolidge Corner Theatre on Wednesday, October 28.  The pair will introduce a 7:00 pm screening of their award-winning documentary The Yes Men Fix the World and take questions from the audience following the movie. 

 

The Yes Men Fix the World, which opens at the Coolidge on Friday, October 23, is a screwball true story that tells how the Yes Men, posing as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into high-level corporate conferences and media events, where they pull off outrageous pranks that unmask human rights abuses and global injustice. From New Orleans to India to New York City, armed with little more than cheap thrift-store suits, the Yes Men squeeze raucous comedy out of all the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet.

 

Borat meets Michael Moore in this gut-busting wake-up call that proves a little imagination can go a long way towards vanquishing the Cult of Greed.

Who knew fixing the world could be so much fun?
