Note:
The film also opens at the Pasadena Playhouse 7, for an open run.
The Yes Men's new documentary chronicles the subversive duo's elaborate, politically progressive hoaxes. Using cheap suits, aliases, and "straight" talk, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno impersonate spokesmen from massive corporations and government agencies that promote bottom lines over human life. In front of unsuspecting audiences, they enact conscience-raising pranks, such as selling preposterous, Halliburton-approved "Survivaballs" to protect the rich from climate change, or promising — on the behalf of Dow Chemical and before 300 million BBC viewers — $12 billion in restitution for a decades-old disaster in Bhopal, India.
