Comments: Changing the world one prank at a time.
Summary: "The Yes men" is an interesting documentary that tells us about the activities of some young men that took upon themselves an interesting task: identity correction. Does that sound strange? Well, as a matter of fact it is strange, but it is also very interesting.
This story is somewhat weird, but at the same time pretty straightforward. Andy and Mike are anti-globalization protestors that thought that the World Trade Organization was doing terrible things, but making public statements that were completely different to its actions. As a result, they decide to steal the WTO's identity, in order to give it a true face.
Andy and Mike set up a website with a very similar address to the website of the World Trade Organization, and their website is in fact mistaken for the WTO official website by many. That is the reason why Andy and Mike end up being invited to conferences all over the world, and giving lectures too weird to be real, but based on reality.
All in all, I think that this is a documentary you will like. It is funny and not overly serious, but makes you think. Not to be missed!
