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.

The Canadian Dream

In a modern take of Miguel de Unamuno's 1930's novel "San Martín Bueno, martir", where a priest loses faith in god, "Times of Insurrection" tells the story of the CEO of a global corporation who starts to lose faith in capitalism after a mysterious external pressure forces him to change his company forever. In this slick short film, we witness the CEO of a dairy corporation cause a great deal ofdiscomfort and uneasiness in his annual shareholder’s meeting by talking about things that are‘just not discussed’. Things like: corporate responsibility and environmental impact. It might beokay to talk about these things…but will he do anything? It’s fun to watch this scenario play outand to see how nervous it makes the shareholders. Enjoy the uneasiness for a while.
