On Saturday, May 22, at 7:30 PM, the Solidarity Committee of the Capital District continues its 2009-2010 film series with the screening of an uproariously humorous documentary, "The Yes Men Fix the World" (2009, 87 minutes).  In this screwball true story, two gonzo political activists, posing as top executives of giant corporations, lie their way into big business conferences and pull off the world's most outrageous pranks.  From New Orleans to India to New York City, armed with little more than cheap thrift-store suits, the Yes Men apply raucous comedy to a multitude of ways that corporate greed is destroying the planet.  According to journalist Naomi Klein, the resulting film is "hilarious, therapeutic, inspiring."  Don't miss it!



The film-showing -- co-sponsored by Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and Upper Hudson Peace Action -- will take place at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, located at 405 Washington Avenue(across the street from the downtown SUNY campus).
