Adventures in Activism with the Yes Men


A peek inside the new Yes Men film, hitting VOD June 9th and theaters June 12

 

For over a decade now, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno (not their real names) have been the merry pranksters of political activism, posing as climate-change deniers, the US Chamber of Commerce, oil execs, and other nefarious officials in hoaxes designed to highlight hypocrisy in politics and the corporate world.

 

But despite biting satire and belly laughs, fixing the world is not an easy job. The Yes Men Are Revolting follows the further adventures of Bichlbaum and Bonanno, but also highlights the everyday struggles faced by anyone fighting for a better world. For these activists, every political cause is also personal.


Starting this week, the film will be opening theatrically and on-demand across the country by The Orchard. Also on Friday we go behind the scenes right here on Bittorrent. Download the Yes Men Bundle to unlock four exclusive outtaken videos from the Yes Men, involving an unlikely partnership between the NYPD and McDonalds, hydrofracking, and a visit to Julian Assange. Pre-order the full film here.
