Awarded with the prestigious audience award at the Berlin International Film Festival 2009, the “The Yes Men Fix the World” is a screwball true story that follows a couple of gonzo political activists as they infiltrate the world of big business and pull off outrageous pranks that highlight the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet. Along the way the duo discover the culprits behind the cult of greed, and in a wildly uplifting ending, they find a way for everyone to defeat the cult and save civilization from its own worst excesses.
Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno (The Yes Men) have been called “the Jonathan Swift of the Jackass generation” by author Naomi Klein. They infiltrate the world of big business and smuggle out stories that are shocking and hilarious. Their 2004 feature documentary (The Yes Men, directed by Chris Smith, Sarah Price, and Dan Olman) received numerous festival awards and was distributed theatrically around the globe. To direct The Yes Men Fix The World, Andy and Mike teamed up with legendary documentarian Kurt Engfehr, who is well-known for co-producing and editing Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling For Columbine.
