This film is about disasters and risk - the risk that big business is prepared to take with our lives.
Political pranksters, 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. Both directing and starring in the film, Mike Bonnano and Andy Bichlbaum (The Yes Men) set out, via a series of audacious stunts, to test the idea passionately held by neo cons, corporate leaders and the British and US governments, that the profit drive alone can solve the world's problems.

Directors
Director/Producer/Editor Kurt Engfehr has worked in all areas of television and film production, most notably as co-producer and editor of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and Bowling For Columbine, for which Moore won the Oscar, and Kurt the ACE Award for editing. Kurt is currently co-directing and producing several documentaries.
Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are two guys who couldn't hold down a job until they became reps for the WTO, George W. Bush, Halliburton, Dow Chemical, and the U.S. Federal Government. Now they're the Yes Men, and they use humour, truth and lunacy to bring media attention to the local and global misdeeds of their unwilling employers.
An entertaining swipe at corporate irresponsibility.
