Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, the Yes Men, have an unusual hobby of posing as top executives of corporations they dislike. Dressed in secondhand suits, the two mischief makers lie their way into business conferences and mock their corporate targets. Their new film, Yes Men Fix The World, recently premiered on HBO to rave reviews, offering a behind the scenes look at the world’s most famous anti-corporate tricksters.
The Yes Men have had unprecedented success with their international pranks. They went on BBC News posing as Dow Chemical spokespeople and told the world that Dow Chemical was finally taking full responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe in India. Dow Chemical stock immediately fell. At an Exxon conference they introduced a new biofuel called Vivoleum, made from dead people. The Yes Men have developed an international cult following for their antics and their ability to successfully dupe the corporate world again and again.
The Yes Men Fix The World premieres in the U.K on August 7th at the London's Odeon Panton Street and premieres in U.S. theatres October 7th in New York City at the Film Forum Theater in Lower Manhattan, with simultaneous premieres in New Orleans and Bhopal.
