Two Recommended Movies

Dear All,
Please find below two movies that were recommended by Andrea Holley from Human Rights Watch Film Festival and if you can, please go and see them.
All the best, Judit

The funniest film of the HRWIFF-NY 2004!
THE YES MEN The Yes Men
Opens Friday the 24th Sept in NY and LA!!!
From The Yes Men...
Dear Friend,
If you live in New York, see our movie at the Sunshine or Lincoln Square cinema.
In L.A., go to the Pacific ArcLight or Laemmle Monica.
What you will see will be the two of us, armed with nothing but
thrift-store suits, representing the World Trade Organization on
international TV and at conferences worldwide. You will see us
advocating the auctioning of votes to the highest corporate
bidder, the recycling of food in the Third World, and worse--and you will
see our corporate audiences applaud.
"The Yes Men" has garnered a lot of critical acclaim, festival
awards, and standing ovations. Naomi Klein has called us "Jonathan Swift
for the Jackass generation." But for folks in smaller cities to see it
and like it too, "The Yes Men" has to be seen by many thousands of people
in New York and L.A. this weekend.
So please: this weekend, if you live near New York or Los Angeles, go see our movie. Take your friends. Take your enemies. Take people
you've never met. And forward this message widely.
Your friends,
The Yes Men
