IMCistas this is your film!
The election getting you down- try this for a change...
The Yes Men summary:
A comedic documentary which follows The Yes Men, a small group of prankster activists, as they gain world-wide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on television and at business conferences around the world. The film begins when two members of The Yes Men, Andy and Mike, set up a website that mimics the World Trade Organization's--and it's mistaken for the real thing. They play along with the ruse and soon find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives. Delighted to represent the organization they politically oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly comic satire that highlights the worst aspects of global free trade.
This film is absolutely hilarious. I highly recommend that you make time to see it while it is in town. It really cheered me up. Very educational too. Bring your friends and neighbors that are ill-informed on the WTO. A fun way to bond [and enlighten]. It will NOT hold over for two weeks, so get here this week! Oh, and IMCistas that want to do some community outreach are welcome to distribute IMC info before the show. Just email me and let me know you are coming.
In solidarity,
Colleen
