Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: "THE YES MEN"
Film: “THE YES MEN” (82 min, Chris Smith, Dan Ollman, Sarah Price, 2005) - WTO, with a twist! . A hilarious tale of two pranksters who set out to bring down one of the world's most monolithic and mysterious agencies, the World Trade Organization. In 1999 two young anti-globalization activists created www.gatt.org, a website that mirrored the official site of the WTO but contained all sorts of highly-convincing but unlikely arguments and proposals. The site was so convincing that the duo received requests to speak at functions around the world as representatives of the WTO, and inspired by their success they decided to take things one step further.
