Trickster activists the Yes Men collaborate with Clean Clothes Campaign and Berlin fashion designers to orchestrate an elaborate hoax announcement in an effort to improve conditions for garment workers and sustainability in the Adidas supply chain. Then they stage a shocking and hilarious fashion show at the opening of Berlin Fashion Week that makes the world pay attention to labor and environmental abuses that the mega-brand is trying to hide. This video documents a brilliant “performance-intervention”. A fake fashion show during fashionweek in NYC that fools all the fashionistas. It’s a cool critique of the labour conditions thatunderlie the Adidas brand in Cambodia. The Clean Clothes Campaign approached The YesMen, who put together this event with the help of a design team, Threads and Tits. The result ofthis ruse is that Adidas has to publicly admit they are not making ethical changes to it’s Brand.It’s a must-see to believe it. You won’t forget it.

An allegory contemplating the nuances of forest stewardship and the interconnectedness of monoculture tree farms with Canada's current wildfire crisis. This is a visually poetic rumination on the relationship between fire and forests -environmentally, personally, economically. It includes interviews with interesting people andexperts, as well as visual montages featuring folks who work with trees, with lumber, and withfire. The filmmaker suggests some new understandings are needed.

Forest for the Fires

In this 11-minute video, labour economist Jim Stanford takes viewers on an animated tour of a workplace where workers have a strong collective voice: that is, the ability to speak out, be heard, and make change. The video illuminates key findings from economic research: namely, when workers have a strong ‘say’ at work, workplaces are safer, more productive, and fairer, and workers’ lives are better.
