The Yes Men are a culture jamming group that use satirical performance art to make political points. While impersonating public relations personnel, they hold fake press conferences where they announce corporations, governments, and other organizations have taken a new, leftist stance. After seeing little gain from their pranks and increasing demands in their personal lives, The Yes Men debate whether they should continue. They are reinvigorated by the Occupy Wall Street protests and embark on a new campaign to combat climate change denial.
– This is the official description from the film’s website, Wikipedia, or IMDb.
“Who said that a political film can’t be sweet, too? In its grandest triumph, “The Yes Men Are Revolting” is an activist doc inspired by more than just its topical issues.” – RogerEbert.com, Nick Allen
“The Yes Men Are Revolting, their third film, has a personal poignancy that is missing in the forerunners, The Yes Men (2003) and The Yes Men Fix the World (2009).” – The New York Times, Stephen Holden
Here are the Yes Men films in chronological order:
The Yes Men (2003)
