After almost two decades of humorous guerrilla activism against economic greed and political
corruption as The Yes Men, everyday life and a crisis of identity seem to have caught up with the
duo: Mike Bonanno now has a wife and children, and Andy Bichlbaum has not given up hope of a
lasting relationship with his male partner. Their critical interventions, in which amongst other ruses
they pretended to be spokespeople for the US Chamber of Commerce or for Shell and announced a
change of tack to nonplussed members of the press have fizzled out without having had the desired
effect. Growing responsibilities in their private lives have influenced their ability to stage interventions
together. In spite of this they still feel a duty to oppose climate change – which far overshadows any
of humanity’s other problems – with all they have. Alternating between Andy and Mike’s diary-like
perspectives, this third film about The Yes Men (2009 Panorama Audience Award), describes the
ups and downs of a creative friendship and takes an amusing look at the duo’s successful and not so
successful interventions from 2009 to the present.
