The Yes Men Fix the World – win free cinema tickets
"Finally the high priests of the free market get a massive dose of the disrespect they deserve. Hilarious, therapeutic, inspiring. The Yes Men are geniuses." - Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine and No Logo
The global system is in crisis. Millions of women and men are losing their jobs and livelihoods. Yet world leaders have responded by trying to preserve the system that is responsible for the crisis, and multinational corporations are still raking in the profits at the expense of people everywhere.
The Yes Men Fix The World leads us through the daring political pranks of the Yes Men as they adopt the fake identity of corporate executives in a bid to highlight the greed and brutal selfishness of some of the world's biggest and most powerful multinational corporations.
Besides covering the Yes Men's daring hoaxes, the film investigates and attacks the blind worship of the free market that has led so many corporations and government agencies to put profits before people.

More about the film
THE YES MEN ARE BACK WITH THEIR AWARD-WINNING SHOCK-DOC -"THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD"
Directed by the ‘Yes Men' (Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno) in collaboration with Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 editor Kurt Engfehr, who co-directs.
The film shows the Yes Men posing as Exxon and Halliburton representatives, presenting shocking and ridiculous solutions to climate change to industry audiences, as well as appearing alongside the governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans to show how government could right the wrongs done to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The result is a hard hitting and hilarious film to inspire even the most politically lethargic into taking action.
On 11 August, a simulcast event screening of THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD and live q&a with the Yes Men will be beamed via satellites from Sheffield Showroom. Cinema-goers will have the opportunity to put their questions live and direct to the film's stars from their respective cinema locations.
