A benefit event, this sneak preview of Andy Bichelbaum and Mike Bonanno's new feature is a TRUE screwball comedy about two gonzo political activists who, posing as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into big business conferences and pull off the world's most outrageous pranks. From New Orleans to Bhopal to New York City, armed with little more than cheap thrift-store suits, the Yes Men squeeze raucous humor out of all the ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet. Brüno meets Michael Moore in this gut-busting wake-up call that proves a little imagination can go a long way towards vanquishing the Cult of Greed. PLUS now-rare glimpses of earlier Yes Men iterations: Portland actions, Barbie Liberation Organization, ®(TM)ark; and more culture-jamming from their predecessors (Joey Skaggs), and from those they've inspired (host Bryan Boyce, Institute of Applied Autonomy, et al.) Portion of proceeds go the defense of the Mission's own Pirate Cat Radio, whose founder, Monkey, will be present for a community update. *$7.
