The Yes Men
follows a small group of prankster-activists as they gain worldwide
notoriety for impersonating representatives of the World Trade Organization
on TV and at business conferences around the world.
The bizarre story begins with Andy and Mike setting up a website that
mimics the World Trade Organization. When their satire website is mistaken
for the real thing, Mike and Andy play along with the ruse and soon
find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives.
Delighted to speak as the organization they oppose, Andy and Mike don
thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly
comic satires featuring the worst aspects of global free trade.
The results
of their appearances are shocking and unexpected, and by the end of
the movie Mike and Andy radically change their approach to astounding
results, illustrating how innovative political activism can really make
a difference. The movie leaves you anticipating who The Yes Men's
next target will be....
