The Yes Men Fix the World

Mike Bonanno, Andy Bichlbaum / France, United Kingdom, United States / 2009 / Czech Premiere / 87 min.


synopsis

The activist duo launch headfirst into a Don Quixotesque mission to change the world. For Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Mike Bonanno, the proverbial windmills are large corporations that ruthlessly focus on their own profit, and do not take responsibility for the results of their actions. The duo target these using sophisticated public campaigns.

“So that’s where I think we’re interested in going, is trying to see how we can broaden our risk taking and help a lot of people take the sort of risks that are necessary to create change.” (Mike Bonnano)
