Today At The Clinton Street Theater

kboo radio tower

 

KBOO and the Clinton Street Theater have partnered to bring you a monthly film series about....well, it could be about radio, or about anyone of the many programs that KBOO airs--politics, labor, human rights, and, of course, lots of music.

A new film or event every second Thursday of the month, so stayed tuned to the radio and check back on the website, because you never know what might be happening month to month.

We'll also collaborate on bringing you special events throughout the year like the annual celebrations for Zappa, Lennon, Miles Davis, and more.

Are you feeling freaked out or fearful of days ahead in the USA? Then come out for one of the most hilarious, inspiring and shocking films ever made! It all started HERE in Portland!! A wickedly fun skewering of corporate greed, this is the TRUE STORY of two guys in thrift store suits who impersonate corporate big-wigs and wreak havoc with outlandish stunts.

The Yes Men Fix the World
Director: 
Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno
Country: 
France | UK | USA
Year: 
2009
Runtime: 
87 minutes

In this wonderfully therapeutic film, Yes Men Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno impose cosmic (and comic) justice by any means necessary. THE YES MEN FIX THE WORLD 'shines with a raw wit and originality' (Newsweek) as it fearlessly follows the twisted logic of corporate capitalism to its absurd conclusion, exposing the hilarious absurdities and ironies of an economic system that ruthlessly rules the planet. 

To a television audience of 300 million, Andy (posing as a Dow Chemicals spokesman) announces that Dow will finally compensate the victims of the Bhopal disaster, causing the company s stock to instantly plunge by $2 billion. At an oil industry conference, the Yes Men introduce a wonderful new Exxon miracle fuel made from the bodies of global warming losers...and many other stunts!
