The Yes Men Are Revolting

Synopsis

For the last 20 years, iconoclastic activists the Yes Men, armed with nothing but thrift-store suits and a lack of shame, have lied their way into business events and government functions in order to expose the dangers of letting greed run our world. In their third cinematic outing (after The Yes Men and The Yes Men Fix the World), these notoriusly funny revolutionaries find that their mid-life crises are threatening to drive them out of activism forever – even as they prepare to take on the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced: climate change. The Yes Men Are Revolting is as much a character study as it is an entertaining depiction of their latest interventions, revealing the real people behind the ruses – and ending with a hopeful message about fighting for change.
