Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:24,325
-please get back.
2
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:26,627
Please move back
to a safe distance.
3
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:29,230
We're very concerned
with safety.
4
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:31,232
These are the solution
to climate change
5
00:00:31,265 --> 00:00:33,834
that america's corporations
has come up with
6
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,337
and has in mind
for their top c.e.o.s.
7
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,772
-i don't see what that has to do
with the survival of people,
8
00:00:38,806 --> 00:00:39,640
and the fact that the c.e.o.s
9
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:41,642
are responsible
for the situation --
10
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:43,777
-but the market always comes up
with the best solution.
11
00:00:43,811 --> 00:00:46,147
And in this case,
the problem is climate change,
12
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:49,217
and that's the solution that
corporations will come up with.
13
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:52,586
-hi. my name's mike.
14
00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:54,555
That's me.
15
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:57,491
-and that is andy.
16
00:00:57,525 --> 00:00:58,792
-the reason we're all dressed up
17
00:00:58,826 --> 00:01:01,662
is because we're launching
a protest.
18
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:05,733
Just across the river
is the united nations.
19
00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:08,136
The world's most powerful
leaders are meeting there
20
00:01:08,169 --> 00:01:10,838
to discuss climate change,
and everyone's hopeful
21
00:01:10,871 --> 00:01:13,874
that our president will do
the right thing.
22
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:15,309
-we must seize the opportunity
23
00:01:15,343 --> 00:01:17,178
to make a significant step
forward
24
00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:19,847
in the global fight
against climate change.
25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,117
-but would all these guys
go along with obama?
26
00:01:23,151 --> 00:01:27,788
We wanted to show them just what
was in store if they didn't.
27
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:31,759
Okay, what you're seeing here
are survivaballs.
28
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,861
They are self-contained units
29
00:01:33,894 --> 00:01:35,796
that will allow somebody
to survive
30
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:37,331
no matter what happens
to the climate.
31
00:01:37,365 --> 00:01:39,800
-they can survive six months
of drought,
32
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:42,636
category-four hurricanes,
any kind of tornado,
33
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:45,673
they're fully equipped
for anything.
34
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:54,148
We're launching a flotilla
of 100 survivaballs
35
00:01:54,182 --> 00:01:56,650
to the united nations,
and we're gonna say that if you
36
00:01:56,684 --> 00:01:59,687
don't come to an agreement
to reduce greenhouse gases,
37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,789
this is what the future's
gonna look like.
38
00:02:01,822 --> 00:02:03,857
Right now the current
is just right
39
00:02:03,891 --> 00:02:07,161
to take these survivaballs
to the united nations.
40
00:02:07,195 --> 00:02:09,530
No one is expecting them...
41
00:02:09,563 --> 00:02:13,701
-except for that coast guard
and, uh, police boats.
42
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,636
-but it's small,
and that probably isn't
43
00:02:15,669 --> 00:02:17,305
a machine gun
mounted on its front end,
44
00:02:17,338 --> 00:02:19,273
so there's probably
nothing to worry about.
45
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:22,576
* At first I was afraid,
I was petrified *
46
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:26,914
* Kept thinking I could never
live without you by my side *
47
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,849
-so, go towards the machine gun
and then left,
48
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:30,484
and you'll be at the u.n.
49
00:02:30,518 --> 00:02:31,885
Everything will be fine.
50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,955
* And I learned
how to get along *
51
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:38,926
* And so you're back
from outer space *
52
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:41,195
* I just walked in
to find you here *
53
00:02:41,229 --> 00:02:43,197
* With that sad look
upon your face *
54
00:02:43,231 --> 00:02:45,199
* I should have changed
that stupid lock *
55
00:02:45,233 --> 00:02:47,435
* I should have made you
leave your key *
56
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:49,803
* If I had known
for just one second *
57
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:51,439
* You'd be back to bother me
58
00:02:51,472 --> 00:02:55,743
* Go on, now go,
walk out the door *
59
00:02:55,776 --> 00:02:57,945
* Just turn around now
60
00:02:57,978 --> 00:03:00,481
* 'cause you're not welcome
anymore *
61
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,851
* Weren't you the one who tried
to hurt me with goodbye *
62
00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:05,886
* Do you think I'd crumble?
63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,955
* Did you think I'd lay down
and die? *
64
00:03:07,988 --> 00:03:12,226
* Oh, no, not i,
I will survive *
65
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,762
* Oh, as long as I know
how to love *
66
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:16,364
* I know I'll stay alive
67
00:03:16,397 --> 00:03:18,432
* I've got
all my life to live *
68
00:03:18,466 --> 00:03:20,601
* And I've got
all my love to give *
69
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:22,670
* And I'll survive
70
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,705
* I will survive
71
00:03:24,738 --> 00:03:26,274
* Hey, hey!
72
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:45,493
* It took all strength I had
not to fall apart *
73
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:49,297
* Kept trying' hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart *
74
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:53,601
* And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself *
75
00:03:53,634 --> 00:03:54,968
* I used to cry...
76
00:03:55,002 --> 00:03:58,406
-the survivaball protest
didn't survive long.
77
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,308
Minutes after wading into
the water,
78
00:04:00,341 --> 00:04:03,577
the survivaballs were
in retreat.
79
00:04:03,611 --> 00:04:06,780
One of the two main "yes men"
was cuffed and taken away.
80
00:04:06,814 --> 00:04:08,882
-do you want us to send
somebody, or...?
81
00:04:08,916 --> 00:04:10,050
-uh, sure.
82
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:13,554
I think it'll be okay, though.
83
00:04:16,324 --> 00:04:19,560
-we don't usually get arrested,
84
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:20,928
but ever since the 1990s,
85
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:24,031
mike and I have been dressing up
in second-hand suits
86
00:04:24,064 --> 00:04:27,067
and impersonating big
and powerful people.
87
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,703
-hello, uh, this is
reggie lamprey calling,
88
00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:31,305
I'm from
the yes bush can campaign.
89
00:04:31,339 --> 00:04:35,008
-hi, uh, this is
kennithrung sprat from the wto.
90
00:04:35,042 --> 00:04:36,910
-my name is francisco guerrero.
91
00:04:36,944 --> 00:04:38,846
-my name is fred,
I'm from halliburton.
92
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,982
-we weasel our way
onto center stage.
93
00:04:44,985 --> 00:04:47,788
At least for a little while.
94
00:04:47,821 --> 00:04:49,957
-mr. oswin, you're not even
on the directory of h.u.d.,
95
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:51,425
you're not even listed,
96
00:04:51,459 --> 00:04:52,860
you don't even have
a phone number.
97
00:04:54,828 --> 00:04:56,464
-the hoax was
an elaborate one...
98
00:04:56,497 --> 00:04:58,666
-for the first time,
dow is accepting
99
00:04:58,699 --> 00:05:02,536
full responsibility
for the bhopal catastrophe.
100
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:06,474
-the prank, which briefly
knocked 3% off dow's shares...
101
00:05:06,507 --> 00:05:08,876
-when the jig is up,
it makes the news.
102
00:05:08,909 --> 00:05:12,346
-it's a group of pranksters who
call themselves "the yes men"...
103
00:05:12,380 --> 00:05:14,014
-an activist group
called "yes men"...
104
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:16,684
-it's not the way
most people protest,
105
00:05:16,717 --> 00:05:21,054
but it's our way
to say no to corporate greed.
106
00:05:21,088 --> 00:05:23,023
-ooh.
107
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:31,565
-this is the archive, man.
108
00:05:31,599 --> 00:05:33,133
This looks really water damaged,
whatever it is.
109
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,502
-here's a little love note.
110
00:05:37,104 --> 00:05:40,908
We have to get rid of
some of this crap.
111
00:05:40,941 --> 00:05:42,610
-whoa!
112
00:05:42,643 --> 00:05:44,545
-jesus christ, look at that.
113
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,482
-oh, this is
a domino's pizza shirt.
114
00:05:48,516 --> 00:05:52,085
This is so that you can deliver
a pizza --
115
00:05:52,119 --> 00:05:54,121
"deliver a pizza"
to any event.
116
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:56,590
They'll always
let a pizza delivery guy in.
117
00:05:56,624 --> 00:05:58,626
-i remember that.
118
00:05:58,659 --> 00:06:00,628
Wow, that's a lot of books.
119
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:01,962
Why don't we sell them?
120
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:03,931
-well, because --
we're trying to sell them,
121
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,065
but nobody wants them.
122
00:06:07,435 --> 00:06:09,102
You want her?
You want to take her?
123
00:06:09,136 --> 00:06:11,839
Andy and I met in 1996.
124
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:12,873
I opened the door,
125
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:14,642
and it was like looking into
a funhouse mirror.
126
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:18,045
-it's so weird --
when we met we were like,
127
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:20,614
"oh, my god.
You're my other half.
128
00:06:20,648 --> 00:06:23,150
Oh, my god. somebody
as mischievous as I am."
129
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:25,453
-you know, we'd get up
in the morning
130
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:28,155
and do some weird action
and then just keep doing it.
131
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:29,723
16-, 18-hour day.
132
00:06:29,757 --> 00:06:31,191
-we'd kind of egg each other on
133
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:34,094
and, you know, "let's
just try something crazy."
134
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:38,198
-like, if I had a crazy idea
135
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:41,068
that I would never have
the guts to do by myself,
136
00:06:41,101 --> 00:06:43,203
mike would egg me on and say,
137
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,938
"hey, why not make it
even crazier?"
138
00:06:44,972 --> 00:06:48,175
And then I'd think of something
even crazier than that.
139
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:52,079
We were each other's
perfect enablers,
140
00:06:52,112 --> 00:06:53,981
and it was a great,
little codependency.
141
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:58,786
-strangely enough, that also
broke up my former relationship.
142
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:00,020
My girlfriend dumped me
143
00:07:00,053 --> 00:07:04,458
because of this new obsessive
work thing that I was doing.
144
00:07:04,492 --> 00:07:07,461
I was supposed to drive
across the country with her,
145
00:07:07,495 --> 00:07:09,129
and instead,
I drove across the country
146
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:11,965
with the new relationship --
andy.
147
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:21,074
things were harder now and
not just because we were older.
148
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:22,643
There was a new problem --
149
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:27,147
a problem so huge, it made
everything feel hopeless.
150
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:31,151
I'm talking about
global warming.
151
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:33,253
We all know what's up.
152
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,624
Our carbon emissions are
making the planet get hotter,
153
00:07:36,657 --> 00:07:39,493
and the weather
is going bonkers.
154
00:07:39,527 --> 00:07:44,164
That's scary enough, but if
we keep doing what we're doing,
155
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:47,167
scientists tell us that our
whole climate system
156
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,570
will likely
spiral out of control.
157
00:07:49,603 --> 00:07:54,141
Food systems will collapse,
and civilization will crumble.
158
00:07:54,174 --> 00:07:57,711
That's crazy,
but what's truly insane
159
00:07:57,745 --> 00:07:59,112
is we could fix it.
160
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,248
Within our lifetime,
161
00:08:01,281 --> 00:08:06,219
we could replace all fossil
fuels with renewable energy.
162
00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:09,222
So, why aren't we doing this?
163
00:08:09,256 --> 00:08:11,224
Because the fossil fuel guys
164
00:08:11,258 --> 00:08:14,094
have hijacked
our political system.
165
00:08:14,127 --> 00:08:15,362
They spend millions every year
166
00:08:15,395 --> 00:08:20,768
to convince us that there's
no alternative to oil and coal.
167
00:08:20,801 --> 00:08:24,572
-there isn't even one study
that can be produced
168
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:29,843
that shows that carbon dioxide
is a harmful gas.
169
00:08:29,877 --> 00:08:32,312
-the notion that co2
causes global warming
170
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:33,747
is probably the greatest hoax
171
00:08:33,781 --> 00:08:36,116
ever perpetrated
on the american people.
172
00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:38,251
-these guys got elected
173
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:40,854
with help from
the u.s. chamber of commerce,
174
00:08:40,888 --> 00:08:44,558
which sounds like a government
agency, but it's actually
175
00:08:44,592 --> 00:08:47,628
the largest lobbying
organization in the world.
176
00:08:47,661 --> 00:08:51,198
The chamber is heavily funded
by big oil,
177
00:08:51,231 --> 00:08:54,234
and spends huge amounts
fighting on their behalf.
178
00:08:56,136 --> 00:08:57,304
-i'm all for green jobs,
179
00:08:57,337 --> 00:09:01,108
but we still need
20 million barrels of oil
180
00:09:01,141 --> 00:09:02,042
every day in this country
181
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:06,046
and a lot of natural gas
and a lot of coal.
182
00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:08,348
-now the chamber
was trying to block
183
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:13,086
an exciting new climate bill
that obama was supporting.
184
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,625
What could we do to stop them?
185
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:22,796
-i wanted to help
take down the chamber,
186
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:24,264
but there were a few
little things
187
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:26,600
I had to take care of first.
188
00:09:26,634 --> 00:09:28,736
Yeah, okay.
189
00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:42,315
-i'm going to work.
190
00:09:42,349 --> 00:09:43,784
I'll see you
on thursday morning.
191
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:46,186
-mwah!
192
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:48,856
Dada, dada.
193
00:09:48,889 --> 00:09:52,225
-aah!
194
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:54,127
Today's momentous decision
195
00:09:54,161 --> 00:09:56,797
indeed comes after
a difficult period.
196
00:09:56,830 --> 00:10:01,134
In business --
I'm gonna change this slightly.
197
00:10:03,704 --> 00:10:04,872
Oh god.
198
00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:08,208
Seriously?
199
00:10:11,078 --> 00:10:16,349
I'm supposed to do this alone?
200
00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,752
-we had rented a room
at the national press club
201
00:10:18,786 --> 00:10:19,653
so that d.c. journalists
202
00:10:19,687 --> 00:10:22,756
would show up
for our big announcement.
203
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:25,826
-this is the, uh...
204
00:10:25,859 --> 00:10:29,062
About twentieth time
I've done this, probably,
205
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:32,299
and, uh,
just as nervous as ever.
206
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:34,334
-thank you for coming today.
207
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:37,370
Today, the chamber's announcing
a decisive step forward
208
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:39,172
for the future
of american business
209
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:41,374
and the free-enterprise system
itself.
210
00:10:41,408 --> 00:10:42,375
To speak to this issue,
211
00:10:42,409 --> 00:10:44,344
I'd like to introduce to you
mr. hingo sembra,
212
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:47,948
chamber spokesperson
and speaking on behalf
213
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:50,183
of president donahue.
214
00:10:50,217 --> 00:10:54,988
-thank you very much, sheila,
and a good day to everyone.
215
00:10:55,022 --> 00:11:00,961
In business, as in life,
we sometimes don't look ahead.
216
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,329
Climatologists tell us
217
00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:05,098
that if we don't enact
dramatic reductions
218
00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:06,233
in carbon emissions today,
219
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:09,136
we could begin facing
the propagating feedback loops
220
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:12,472
of runaway climate change,
which would mean a disruption
221
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,407
of food and water supplies
worldwide
222
00:11:14,441 --> 00:11:18,311
with the result
of mass migrations, famine,
223
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:21,381
and death on a scale
never before imagined.
224
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:25,018
Needless to say,
that would be bad for business.
225
00:11:25,052 --> 00:11:28,889
There is only one sound way
to do business,
226
00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:31,892
and that's to pass
a strong climate bill quickly.
227
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:34,928
What we need
is simply a carbon tax.
228
00:11:34,962 --> 00:11:38,398
Mother nature means business,
and we do, too.
229
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:41,468
-in a reversal on climate change
230
00:11:41,501 --> 00:11:43,470
from the u.s. chamber
of commerce...
231
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:45,739
-the u.s. chamber of commerce
is now getting ready
232
00:11:45,773 --> 00:11:49,743
to throw its weight behind
strong climate legislation.
233
00:11:49,777 --> 00:11:53,914
-and...wants a carbon tax,
if you will.
234
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:57,050
-andy was impersonating
the chamber
235
00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:59,152
at the national press club.
236
00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:00,487
But since I was running late,
237
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,856
I went to distract them
at their actual offices.
238
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:11,031
-they're calling for a squad car
now for some reason.
239
00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:22,943
- well, we'll call him. Why
don't you just go on outside?
240
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:24,845
Come on, let's go.
241
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:30,550
-dave garble
from the washington post.
242
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:33,486
Is there a sense from you guys
that this is an inevitable thing
243
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,521
and so you should get in
to try to make...
244
00:12:34,554 --> 00:12:36,256
-okay, I'm eric wohlschlegel.
245
00:12:36,289 --> 00:12:37,858
I'm with
the u.s. chamber of commerce.
246
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:41,895
-this is not an official
u.s. chamber of commerce event.
247
00:12:41,929 --> 00:12:44,531
I don't know
what pretenses you're here,
248
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:47,901
but this is a fraudulent
press activity and a stunt.
249
00:12:49,202 --> 00:12:51,004
Are you with the u.s. chamber?
250
00:12:51,038 --> 00:12:53,540
-i-i do.
251
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:56,109
-are you here representing
the u.s. chamber of commerce?
252
00:12:56,143 --> 00:12:57,010
-yes, I am.
253
00:12:57,044 --> 00:12:58,378
-okay, well I work there,
254
00:12:58,411 --> 00:13:00,113
and you do not look familiar
to me at all.
255
00:13:02,415 --> 00:13:04,417
-are you interrupting a press --
-yes I am. yeah.
256
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,820
Uh, this guy does not represent
the u.s. chamber of commerce.
257
00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:08,188
-can we finish the --
-no.
258
00:13:08,221 --> 00:13:11,424
-if you would like to have
a press conference,
259
00:13:11,458 --> 00:13:13,260
you can have
your own press conference, sir.
260
00:13:14,527 --> 00:13:16,329
-i just spoke my position.
261
00:13:16,363 --> 00:13:18,331
-what is your official title
in the u.s. chamber of commerce?
262
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:19,599
-i'm the assistant
to mr. donahue.
263
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,602
-okay.
This guy is a fraud, he's lying.
264
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:26,373
Um, this is, you know, a stunt
that I've never seen before.
265
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:28,041
So, if you'd like
to actually talk
266
00:13:28,075 --> 00:13:29,542
to the legitimate
chamber of commerce,
267
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:31,144
I've got my business cards
outside.
268
00:13:31,178 --> 00:13:32,379
This gentleman I will assure you
269
00:13:32,412 --> 00:13:34,614
does not have any business
cards, and he's not legitimate.
270
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,483
-"show me your business card."
"no show me yours."
271
00:13:36,516 --> 00:13:38,618
-they both look like imposters.
272
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:41,554
'cause you don't look familiar.
273
00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:44,491
-actually,
this sign-in sheet here.
274
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:47,494
-i'm sorry. excuse me, sir.
We rented this room.
275
00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:49,396
You're gonna have to refund us.
276
00:13:49,429 --> 00:13:51,631
-fraudulently. it's fraud.
It's illegal.
277
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:55,635
-all right, so the
u.s. chamber's denying it now.
278
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:59,639
All right, so...maybe not.
279
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:02,876
-the u.s. chamber of commerce
says it was victimized.
280
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:05,445
-victims of a hoax
by environmental activists.
281
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:06,613
-apparently, it was a hoax.
282
00:14:06,646 --> 00:14:09,382
Either there is a group
or some people or a person...
283
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:13,921
-is there any involvement
of the white house whatsoever?
284
00:14:13,954 --> 00:14:17,590
-what happened today was fraud,
and I believe is illegal.
285
00:14:17,624 --> 00:14:21,028
And to misrepresent
an organization, an institution,
286
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:23,630
for the purposes
of trying to advance
287
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:25,565
climate-change legislation,
288
00:14:25,598 --> 00:14:28,468
it seems very disingenuous
and very extreme.
289
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:35,608
-what was the point
that you were trying to make?
290
00:14:35,642 --> 00:14:38,111
-without a strong climate bill,
291
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:40,480
the u.s. will be behind
the rest of the world,
292
00:14:40,513 --> 00:14:42,449
we'll be the laughingstock
of the world,
293
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:44,017
and we'll be dooming the planet.
294
00:14:44,051 --> 00:14:45,052
-does it get to the point
295
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:47,154
where you almost need
to do something like this
296
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:49,222
to get the attention
for something you think
297
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,624
is legitimate otherwise
the story won't be told?
298
00:14:51,658 --> 00:14:57,564
-no, I don't think
it's the only way to do it.
299
00:14:58,698 --> 00:15:02,369
-when thousands vote
with their feet
300
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:03,670
and put pressure
on government...
301
00:15:03,703 --> 00:15:07,307
-how stupid is it
not to address climate change?
302
00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:10,177
This stupid is it not
to address climate change.
303
00:15:14,982 --> 00:15:16,516
-i think this is our country.
304
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:18,185
Aah!
305
00:15:28,561 --> 00:15:30,530
The survivaball will protect us!
306
00:15:30,563 --> 00:15:33,566
It also protects you
against arrest, I think.
307
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,468
I'm not really sure.
308
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:44,711
-just today the chamber
of commerce changed positions.
309
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:46,313
Not courtesy of the yes men
310
00:15:46,346 --> 00:15:49,316
with that stunt in washington
a few weeks ago,
311
00:15:49,349 --> 00:15:52,519
but they're now saying, uh,
surprisingly to me,
312
00:15:52,552 --> 00:15:53,520
and I'm glad about it,
313
00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:56,256
that they want to solve
the climate crisis.
314
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:58,658
They want to get legislation.
315
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,632
-every week, I drive
316
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:08,635
about three hours north
of new york city to troy
317
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:10,637
because for the last 15 years,
318
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:15,742
I've had a job there
as an art professor.
319
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:17,744
-my students know I'm a yes man,
320
00:16:17,777 --> 00:16:19,712
and they know
we go by fake names.
321
00:16:19,746 --> 00:16:23,483
I'm really igor and andy
is really jacques.
322
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:25,785
The university's lawyers
advised me
323
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:27,720
not to talk about the yes men
in class,
324
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:31,091
but students are always
asking me how we got started.
325
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:34,127
-jacques was one of
the original programmers
326
00:16:34,161 --> 00:16:36,563
who were working on
the simcopter,
327
00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:38,698
and that's the game that he
altered 'cause he was so bored.
328
00:16:38,731 --> 00:16:40,800
-it all involves
the unexpected appearance
329
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:44,804
of some gay, kissing musclemen
every friday the 13th.
330
00:16:46,073 --> 00:16:48,808
-so he was fired,
but then a wired writer asked,
331
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:50,443
"well, isn't this gay activism
332
00:16:50,477 --> 00:16:52,679
because you put gay content
in the video game?"
333
00:16:52,712 --> 00:16:56,216
And jacques was like,
"yes, it is -- gay activism."
334
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:57,817
He got in touch with me
because I had done
335
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,287
this barbie liberation
organization project.
336
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,721
-their mission -- to free barbie
337
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:04,724
and her very male
plastic counterpart, gi joe,
338
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:08,761
from sexual stereotypes
by reversing their voices.
339
00:17:19,106 --> 00:17:21,841
-mike and I have been working
together for about 15 years now,
340
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:25,745
and it's really kind
of taken over my life.
341
00:17:25,778 --> 00:17:30,183
I also haven't
really prioritized employment,
342
00:17:30,217 --> 00:17:33,253
so I've lost a lot of jobs
that I've had --
343
00:17:33,286 --> 00:17:35,255
gone through them
like toilet paper.
344
00:17:35,288 --> 00:17:40,493
Umm...gotten fired, sometimes
gotten fired on purpose.
345
00:17:40,527 --> 00:17:44,597
This one is actually the first
one that I've wanted to keep.
346
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:50,170
This is where I work.
347
00:17:50,203 --> 00:17:51,604
I am a professor.
348
00:17:51,638 --> 00:17:53,173
Yeah. yeah, me.
349
00:17:53,206 --> 00:17:55,508
They hired me to be
a professor of design.
350
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:56,876
I love it.
351
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,611
Another great thing in my life
352
00:17:58,645 --> 00:18:00,680
is that i, for the first time,
353
00:18:00,713 --> 00:18:05,818
have a boyfriend that I actually
want to spend my life with.
354
00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:12,859
But work I find easier
than people.
355
00:18:12,892 --> 00:18:16,396
I get engaged in projects,
and he gets frustrated.
356
00:18:21,801 --> 00:18:24,337
-okay, so,
this is what just happened.
357
00:18:24,371 --> 00:18:25,705
We were sitting here,
358
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:29,809
a guy came up
and handed andy an envelope,
359
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:33,146
and it turned out to be
a process server.
360
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:36,783
We're being sued
by the u.s. chamber of commerce.
361
00:18:36,816 --> 00:18:39,319
"with this complaint
against jacques servin
362
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,621
aka andy bichlbaum
aka hingo sembra,
363
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:43,390
igor vamos aka mike bonanno"...
364
00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:47,860
-apparently we are engaging
in "commercial identity theft
365
00:18:47,894 --> 00:18:49,896
masquerading
as social activism."
366
00:18:51,931 --> 00:18:53,833
-"defendant servin
is also engaged
367
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:55,535
in the business
of making movies."
368
00:18:55,568 --> 00:18:56,636
Not a very good business.
369
00:18:56,669 --> 00:18:59,506
They seem really upset
about this commercial thing.
370
00:18:59,539 --> 00:19:01,908
-business, commercial,
commercial, business.
371
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:03,643
They've written a prayer
for relief.
372
00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:05,478
-yeah.
373
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:06,846
Let's
374
00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:08,848
"plaintiff prays for judgment."
375
00:19:08,881 --> 00:19:10,950
Oh, this means
what they're asking for.
376
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,386
We can't publish
or distribute videotape.
377
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:15,622
An award of all our profits.
That's easy.
378
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:16,723
-yeah.
379
00:19:16,756 --> 00:19:18,425
-they'll owe us some money.
380
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:19,626
-yeah, okay.
381
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:21,594
-this is actually
really exciting
382
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:25,298
'cause it's the first time
we have ever been sued.
383
00:19:25,332 --> 00:19:27,467
I mean we have gotten lots
of threats of lawsuits.
384
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,969
We've gotten maybe 20 of those.
385
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:33,473
-so, should we be worried
about this?
386
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:35,342
-let's see.
387
00:19:35,375 --> 00:19:38,478
-it turns out we did
have to worry.
388
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:39,946
If we lost the case,
389
00:19:39,979 --> 00:19:43,383
we might owe the chamber
of commerce millions of dollars.
390
00:19:43,416 --> 00:19:45,718
We could lose
everything we owned.
391
00:19:45,752 --> 00:19:49,222
Worst of all, losing this suit
would set a legal precedent
392
00:19:49,256 --> 00:19:50,957
that wouldn't just affect us,
393
00:19:50,990 --> 00:19:53,960
it could make
all kinds of activism illegal.
394
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:59,999
If nobody can speak out, the bad
guys can get away with anything.
395
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:03,002
This came at a really bad time.
396
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:05,238
In just a few months,
we were heading
397
00:20:05,272 --> 00:20:09,008
to the united nations climate
conference in copenhagen.
398
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,379
All over the world, people were
hatching ambitious plans
399
00:20:12,412 --> 00:20:15,915
to pressure world leaders
to address climate change.
400
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,785
-the maldives held
a cabinet meeting underwater.
401
00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:22,789
The maldives could be submerged
by rising sea levels.
402
00:20:22,822 --> 00:20:24,757
-we were wondering
what we could do
403
00:20:24,791 --> 00:20:27,360
when we got a call
from kodili chandia,
404
00:20:27,394 --> 00:20:31,898
a climate activist
with actionaid in uganda.
405
00:20:39,038 --> 00:20:41,374
-kodili wanted us
to visit her in uganda
406
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:43,643
to help plan an action
in copenhagen --
407
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:46,913
something so bold, it would
force the world to acknowledge
408
00:20:46,946 --> 00:20:49,982
what she called "climate debt."
409
00:20:50,016 --> 00:20:52,485
-here's how kodili explained it.
410
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,622
People like andy and me
who live in the usa
411
00:20:55,655 --> 00:20:57,290
consume a massive amount.
412
00:20:57,324 --> 00:21:01,661
But people in places like uganda
consume very little.
413
00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:06,933
In fact, an average american
creates 170 times more co2
414
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,336
than the average ugandan.
415
00:21:09,369 --> 00:21:11,938
But even though people
like kodili consume very little,
416
00:21:11,971 --> 00:21:13,973
they get stuck with the bill.
417
00:21:14,006 --> 00:21:15,942
When climate change hits,
418
00:21:15,975 --> 00:21:20,012
the rich can try to rebuild
or even relocate.
419
00:21:20,046 --> 00:21:22,615
The poor can't afford that.
420
00:21:22,649 --> 00:21:26,786
And currently,
400,000 people die every year
421
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:28,755
from the effects
of climate change.
422
00:21:30,923 --> 00:21:33,526
climate debt means
that rich countries
423
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,063
need to compensate poor ones
to help them adapt.
424
00:21:54,681 --> 00:21:55,815
-hey!
425
00:21:55,848 --> 00:21:56,683
-hi!
426
00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:01,087
-fine. very easy.
427
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,989
-wow. the yes men are in uganda!
428
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,461
-kodili wanted to take us
on a road trip
429
00:22:08,495 --> 00:22:11,598
so we could see what
climate change meant for uganda.
430
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:20,072
-so, it's morning in kotido.
431
00:22:20,106 --> 00:22:22,141
It's just an incredibly
beautiful place,
432
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,076
but life is increasingly hard.
433
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:27,013
In the us or europe,
a flood or drought means
434
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:29,949
prices go up a little bit
for most people.
435
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:34,421
Here, it means people die.
436
00:22:38,658 --> 00:22:41,060
-has climate change
affected your life at all?
437
00:23:07,487 --> 00:23:11,090
In recent years,
farming in northern uganda
438
00:23:11,123 --> 00:23:13,426
had become almost impossible.
439
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:17,063
But people were fighting back.
440
00:23:28,475 --> 00:23:30,677
-we sketched out a plan
to get the climate debt
441
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:34,614
solidly on the world's radar
in copenhagen.
442
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:43,556
But climate change wasn't
the only problem in uganda.
443
00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:46,659
There was a bill going through
the ugandan parliament
444
00:23:46,693 --> 00:23:50,530
that called for the
death penalty for homosexuals.
445
00:24:14,887 --> 00:24:15,722
-the professor does
have to tell you.
446
00:24:15,755 --> 00:24:17,056
Go ahead, professor.
447
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:19,726
-it's just an awkward subject
in uganda.
448
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,729
It's really awkward.
449
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:23,930
no, but it's fine.
450
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:27,967
Um, yeah so, um...
451
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,069
Yeah, it's 'cause I'm gay.
452
00:24:30,102 --> 00:24:32,572
So, yeah.
453
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:45,084
-what we know about uganda
in the west
454
00:24:45,117 --> 00:24:47,687
is pretty much
the kill-the-gays bill.
455
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,122
And we came here to talk about
climate change of course,
456
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:53,025
and all that,
but then I was like,
457
00:24:53,059 --> 00:24:55,161
"i can't not do something
about it."
458
00:24:59,699 --> 00:25:00,166
To elucidate?
459
00:25:02,068 --> 00:25:02,569
about gay?
460
00:25:03,803 --> 00:25:06,238
Which part of gay?
461
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:15,214
Well, let's see,
the concept is...
462
00:25:18,150 --> 00:25:19,185
man, man.
463
00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:20,753
Mm...
464
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:38,037
-these kids are just about
the age of my kids.
465
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:14,774
-do you ever feel like
giving up hope?
466
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:41,267
-before we could
go to copenhagen,
467
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,236
we needed to visit a place
that was in large part
468
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:48,340
causing
uganda's climate problems.
469
00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:53,345
-canada, a country known
for its natural wonders,
470
00:26:53,379 --> 00:26:56,415
its universal healthcare,
and its really polite people.
471
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,151
It's also home to the tar sands,
472
00:26:59,185 --> 00:27:01,420
a toxic zone the size of england
473
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:05,357
where oil is strip-mined
by destroying old-growth forests
474
00:27:05,391 --> 00:27:09,295
and pumping the earth
full of chemicals.
475
00:27:09,328 --> 00:27:10,897
-wow.
476
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:14,133
-besides causing cancer
in surrounding communities,
477
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:18,070
producing tar-sands oil
emits three times more carbon
478
00:27:18,104 --> 00:27:20,439
than producing regular oil.
479
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,675
But canada and the u.s.
480
00:27:22,709 --> 00:27:26,145
Are intent on
massively expanding production,
481
00:27:26,178 --> 00:27:28,915
and on building new pipelines
to help get all this oil
482
00:27:28,948 --> 00:27:32,351
to big markets abroad.
483
00:27:32,384 --> 00:27:35,988
-our guide was gitz crazyboy,
whose ancestors lived here
484
00:27:36,022 --> 00:27:39,826
for thousands of years before
the oil companies arrived.
485
00:27:39,859 --> 00:27:41,728
And there's hundreds
of companies, right?
486
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:43,395
-oh, there's tons of companies.
487
00:27:43,429 --> 00:27:46,298
-wait, so this
was all indigenous land?
488
00:27:46,332 --> 00:27:49,268
-yeah, all of...
All of north america was.
489
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:55,341
-so, this is, uh...
This is a pond?
490
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:57,343
-yeah, this is a pond of sludge.
491
00:27:57,376 --> 00:27:59,946
This used to be the forest here.
492
00:27:59,979 --> 00:28:01,480
-fuck.
493
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:02,749
Where does it stop?
494
00:28:02,782 --> 00:28:06,285
I mean, you look over there, and
you can't actually see it stop.
495
00:28:06,318 --> 00:28:07,486
-there are bigger ponds
than this.
496
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,722
This is not
one of the biggest ones.
497
00:28:09,756 --> 00:28:12,091
And it's just gonna
keep expanding and expanding.
498
00:28:12,124 --> 00:28:14,493
But then in the end, when
they've extracted the last drop
499
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,462
that they needed,
they're gonna leave.
500
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:18,130
And when they leave,
they're gonna leave nothing
501
00:28:18,164 --> 00:28:19,899
but toxicity
in the land up here.
502
00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:22,501
Are we dropping bombs
on other people? No.
503
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:24,804
Are people's lives at risk?
Yeah.
504
00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:31,510
We've lost everything up here.
505
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:37,349
-walking out here is like
being on the moon or something.
506
00:28:42,889 --> 00:28:46,258
-scientists are saying that
if we want to avoid catastrophe,
507
00:28:46,292 --> 00:28:48,427
80% of the fossil fuels
508
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,396
that corporations plan
to exploit
509
00:28:50,429 --> 00:28:53,365
have to stay in the ground.
510
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:56,502
Otherwise, it'll be game over
for the climate.
511
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:12,284
-the copenhagen climate
conference was coming up soon,
512
00:29:12,318 --> 00:29:15,454
and we didn't have
much time to lose.
513
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:17,256
-this is being called
the most important
514
00:29:17,289 --> 00:29:19,458
climate-change conference
in the history of this world.
515
00:29:19,491 --> 00:29:22,561
-nearly 200 nations are on hand
for the two-week conference.
516
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:27,466
The goal there -- a plan to save
the planet from global warming.
517
00:29:27,499 --> 00:29:32,271
-the plan for copenhagen
was really coming together.
518
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:35,541
I was kind of neglecting
my boyfriend,
519
00:29:35,574 --> 00:29:40,046
and he was getting more
and more frustrated.
520
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:44,550
I didn't know what to do.
521
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:57,596
-after two years of negotiation,
the time has come to deliver.
522
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,169
-roar!
523
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:04,570
-we're at the cop15.
524
00:30:04,603 --> 00:30:07,306
It's, uh, the big protest day.
525
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:09,508
Everybody's
trying to do their part.
526
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:11,443
Some are working
inside the negotiations
527
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:14,013
trying to influence
their delegations,
528
00:30:14,046 --> 00:30:16,115
and some are working
on the outside
529
00:30:16,148 --> 00:30:17,850
trying to influence the public.
530
00:30:17,884 --> 00:30:20,019
I mean, that's
what's needed right now, right,
531
00:30:20,052 --> 00:30:22,354
is to have
all of these different groups
532
00:30:22,388 --> 00:30:23,322
coming together.
533
00:30:27,426 --> 00:30:28,928
-and I'm kodili,
534
00:30:28,961 --> 00:30:31,097
I'm part
of a global change class,
535
00:30:31,130 --> 00:30:32,631
and I'm a climate-debt agent.
536
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,466
I'm from uganda.
537
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:36,502
-we introduced kodili
to canadian activists
538
00:30:36,535 --> 00:30:38,604
who were pissed off
that their government
539
00:30:38,637 --> 00:30:41,040
was destroying the planet.
540
00:30:41,073 --> 00:30:42,241
-we have been --
541
00:30:42,274 --> 00:30:44,610
and this is also like, uh,
to be kept on the down low --
542
00:30:44,643 --> 00:30:46,145
we've been working
with the yes men
543
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:47,346
for the past little while
544
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:50,549
to do a statement on behalf
of the government of canada.
545
00:30:50,582 --> 00:30:53,019
-canada is one of
the main countries
546
00:30:53,052 --> 00:30:54,987
that's blocking progress,
and it's because they sit
547
00:30:55,021 --> 00:30:57,123
on the world's
second-largest oil reserve.
548
00:30:57,156 --> 00:31:01,393
-the plan was to impersonate
canadian and ugandan officials
549
00:31:01,427 --> 00:31:04,997
and make a big announcement.
550
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:09,568
With nothing but websites,
duct tape, and pipe cleaners,
551
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:13,672
we got down to the high-tech
business of becoming canada.
552
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:16,375
-what we're trying to do
is just recreate the pressroom.
553
00:31:16,408 --> 00:31:18,277
-these are the microphones.
554
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:21,180
They're supposed to look like
these really expensive ones,
555
00:31:21,213 --> 00:31:24,116
and they're just pipe cleaners
and kitchen sponges.
556
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:32,391
-we'll just prop this up like --
here you go.
557
00:31:32,424 --> 00:31:33,960
Let's see, is that high enough?
558
00:31:33,993 --> 00:31:37,529
I don't think so.
No, it needs to be a bit higher.
559
00:31:37,563 --> 00:31:41,633
Hmm, it's working. okay.
560
00:31:41,667 --> 00:31:44,703
-andy showed up
three days before the action.
561
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:47,539
There seemed to be
something wrong.
562
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:53,079
-the night before I left,
my boyfriend dumped me.
563
00:31:53,112 --> 00:31:56,082
He said he'd had enough.
564
00:31:56,115 --> 00:31:59,485
-and I need her number again.
Yeah. yeah.
565
00:31:59,518 --> 00:32:02,154
-i was on a pretty short fuse.
566
00:32:02,188 --> 00:32:04,656
And then I found out that mike
had completely neglected
567
00:32:04,690 --> 00:32:07,193
the press releases
that the action depended on.
568
00:32:07,226 --> 00:32:08,694
-i thought mike was leading
the project,
569
00:32:08,727 --> 00:32:10,229
but all he did was like say
570
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:11,630
"you do that, you do that,
you do that."
571
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:14,233
So, I figured,
"okay, great, he's managing it,"
572
00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:17,569
but then he didn't follow up
with anybody to make sure.
573
00:32:17,603 --> 00:32:19,405
And mike used to manage
574
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:22,541
before he was married
and before he had two kids.
575
00:32:22,574 --> 00:32:24,310
-just come.
576
00:32:24,343 --> 00:32:26,078
Yes.
577
00:32:26,112 --> 00:32:27,213
-when andy got there,
578
00:32:27,246 --> 00:32:30,482
it wasn't depressed guy,
it was angry guy...
579
00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:34,553
Wait what?
580
00:32:34,586 --> 00:32:36,989
...who was making it
very difficult
581
00:32:37,023 --> 00:32:39,225
to pull together
a project because, you know,
582
00:32:39,258 --> 00:32:40,659
we were working with a team.
583
00:32:40,692 --> 00:32:42,328
-i've got to get through here.
584
00:32:43,629 --> 00:32:45,664
-little bit of salt and pepper.
585
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:48,134
-this is great.
586
00:32:48,167 --> 00:32:50,069
Meet the minister --
well, not the minister,
587
00:32:50,102 --> 00:32:52,371
the assistant --
the deputy assistant secretary
588
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:55,507
to the minister
of the environment of canada.
589
00:32:56,675 --> 00:32:58,244
-okay.
590
00:32:58,277 --> 00:33:00,512
-okay, we rolling.
591
00:33:03,549 --> 00:33:09,021
-dearest delegates and fellow
citizens around the globe,
592
00:33:09,055 --> 00:33:11,790
this is the day
that will define our century.
593
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:15,327
Canada is fully acknowledging
its historical climate debt
594
00:33:15,361 --> 00:33:17,696
and the legal responsibility
that follow.
595
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:20,466
Climate debt reparations
are not aid.
596
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:25,137
They are a legal framework that
sets everyone on equal footing.
597
00:33:25,171 --> 00:33:29,175
But to us it's more than
mere economic issues.
598
00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:34,113
It is about the droughts,
the famines, and disease.
599
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:41,087
-the day began
with this press release
600
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,721
announcing the astonishing news
601
00:33:42,754 --> 00:33:47,493
that canada would generously
pony up $13 billion
602
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:48,560
to the african countries.
603
00:33:48,594 --> 00:33:51,097
Then, there was this article
on what looked like
604
00:33:51,130 --> 00:33:53,365
the wall street journal's
website.
605
00:33:53,399 --> 00:33:54,833
Then, a news conference
606
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:57,336
purportedly
by the ugandan delegate,
607
00:33:57,369 --> 00:33:58,537
posted on what looked like
608
00:33:58,570 --> 00:34:00,739
the copenhagen conference
website...
609
00:34:00,772 --> 00:34:02,308
-dearest delegates...
610
00:34:02,341 --> 00:34:05,844
-it looked amazingly real
until the speaker
611
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:09,248
compared canada's oil reserves
to a loaded gun.
612
00:34:09,281 --> 00:34:13,319
-...ready to pull the trigger on
millions of us around the globe.
613
00:34:13,352 --> 00:34:15,387
-it was all a hoax.
614
00:34:23,162 --> 00:34:25,197
It totally has worked.
615
00:34:32,871 --> 00:34:34,773
-i was in the plenary session
at the time that this happened,
616
00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:36,708
and I really can't comment
any further.
617
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:38,344
-you think it's a game,
but it's not a game,
618
00:34:38,377 --> 00:34:39,545
it's a serious issue.
619
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:40,712
-you're playing games,
I'm not playing games.
620
00:34:48,187 --> 00:34:48,920
-absolutely.
621
00:34:48,954 --> 00:34:50,021
-okay,
so what's your name, sir?
622
00:34:50,055 --> 00:34:53,792
-my name is dick impala.
I'm with environment canada.
623
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:01,433
-well, i-i do, I represent them,
uh, better than they --
624
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:06,205
well, after today, better than
hopefully we've had all day.
625
00:35:06,238 --> 00:35:07,239
-okay.
626
00:35:07,273 --> 00:35:09,875
-our feeling is that this
whole question of hoaxes
627
00:35:09,908 --> 00:35:12,344
distracts from the actual fact
628
00:35:12,378 --> 00:35:15,381
that the world's future
is in peril.
629
00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:17,483
-what is the message,
what the world wants to hear
630
00:35:17,516 --> 00:35:21,320
is that the developed countries
should pay their climate debt.
631
00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:36,402
-uh, well --
632
00:35:38,304 --> 00:35:40,839
-all of this happened,
the center of it was uganda,
633
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:43,875
and nobody covered uganda,
and this asshole --
634
00:35:43,909 --> 00:35:45,010
-they missed the fucking point!
635
00:35:45,043 --> 00:35:48,414
-sorry, nice guy, didn't want
to talk about uganda,
636
00:35:48,447 --> 00:35:50,549
even when they have it
in their face.
637
00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:52,284
That is the whole story here.
638
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:54,920
-non-binding target,
weak targets, weak financing --
639
00:35:54,953 --> 00:35:57,956
it speaks to the failure
of the negotiations.
640
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:03,829
-governments caved in
to the oil companies.
641
00:36:03,862 --> 00:36:06,398
The climate talks failed.
642
00:36:06,432 --> 00:36:09,768
-if we're gonna ignore jobs
and growth
643
00:36:09,801 --> 00:36:11,837
simply to address
climate change,
644
00:36:11,870 --> 00:36:13,939
I don't think
anybody's gonna go for that.
645
00:36:13,972 --> 00:36:15,106
I won't go for that.
646
00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:19,245
-stephen harper did not have to
sign on to steep cuts
647
00:36:19,278 --> 00:36:22,214
in canada's prodigious output
of greenhouse gas emissions,
648
00:36:22,248 --> 00:36:24,550
and for him
that's mission accomplished.
649
00:36:24,583 --> 00:36:27,786
-climate justice!
650
00:36:27,819 --> 00:36:30,856
-now!
651
00:36:52,778 --> 00:36:56,882
-the entire focus was on
changing people, these leaders,
652
00:36:56,915 --> 00:37:00,252
on, like, getting these leaders
to do the right thing, you know?
653
00:37:00,286 --> 00:37:04,856
Everybody was just thinking
like, we were thinking --
654
00:37:04,890 --> 00:37:07,793
'cause I was
buying into completely.
655
00:37:07,826 --> 00:37:08,994
I was like "oh yeah.
656
00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:13,399
"let's go make our bit of noise
in this bunch of noise,
657
00:37:13,432 --> 00:37:16,868
"and, you know,
these leaders are gonna listen
658
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:19,705
and actually
do something right."
659
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:22,908
It just feels stupid.
660
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:24,843
-there's even people
who are trying
661
00:37:24,876 --> 00:37:25,911
who are part of the government,
662
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:27,779
and they just fucking
can't do it
663
00:37:27,813 --> 00:37:29,548
because the government's
so corrupt.
664
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:34,520
So what do we do?
665
00:37:36,522 --> 00:37:38,924
-yeah.
666
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:00,879
-you should come
to the next one.
667
00:38:00,912 --> 00:38:03,315
-we'll try to get
the bail money ready.
668
00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:05,684
-i've never even been arrested.
669
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:06,952
On, no, I take it back.
670
00:38:06,985 --> 00:38:07,986
-yeah, you were arrested
in switzerland.
671
00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:09,087
-oh, you're right.
672
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,689
That's true, mom.
673
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:14,092
I also got arrested in mexico,
now that I think of that.
674
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:19,798
-i haven't been, but mom
has been in jail.
675
00:38:23,735 --> 00:38:25,604
-iran.
676
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:30,108
I didn't know that.
677
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:32,944
-well, because I was traveling,
678
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:35,781
and they couldn't read
our passport.
679
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:37,115
We had our sleeping bags,
680
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:39,418
and we said,
"we'll worry about it tomorrow."
681
00:38:39,451 --> 00:38:42,588
And then they came out
to tell us that we could go,
682
00:38:42,621 --> 00:38:46,124
we said "no, we don't want to go
now, we have to sleep now."
683
00:38:47,693 --> 00:38:51,096
-my parents really taught us
to question authority,
684
00:38:51,129 --> 00:38:52,631
and I think that goes way back
685
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:58,370
to when they were kids
in the second world war.
686
00:38:58,404 --> 00:39:01,473
My mom's from holland,
and she had to hide her dad
687
00:39:01,507 --> 00:39:05,010
so he wouldn't be conscripted
by the nazis.
688
00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:07,813
And my dad
is a holocaust survivor
689
00:39:07,846 --> 00:39:10,015
who fled hungary
when he was seven.
690
00:39:15,787 --> 00:39:18,457
-this is what we called
"the land of yick."
691
00:39:18,490 --> 00:39:24,362
It was really the most excellent
playground around.
692
00:39:26,465 --> 00:39:29,067
-it's like
a little mussolini balcony.
693
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:30,702
One of us would be mussolini,
694
00:39:30,736 --> 00:39:34,673
and you go up on the balcony
and make a speech.
695
00:39:41,046 --> 00:39:43,148
-my fans.
696
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:51,056
-when we started
working together,
697
00:39:51,089 --> 00:39:54,059
armageddon was just a fantasy.
698
00:39:54,092 --> 00:39:57,028
Now we've got this real
environmental-armageddon thing,
699
00:39:57,062 --> 00:39:58,630
you know, climate change,
700
00:39:58,664 --> 00:40:02,167
and governments aren't doing
anything about it,
701
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,969
and it just makes you
completely despair
702
00:40:04,002 --> 00:40:06,938
and wonder why the hell
you're doing activism at all,
703
00:40:06,972 --> 00:40:09,074
why you're doing anything.
704
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:13,211
That's why dropping out
becomes appealing too.
705
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:23,121
-we decided to move to scotland
where my wife is from.
706
00:40:23,154 --> 00:40:27,158
I finally got to spend more time
with the kids.
707
00:40:30,862 --> 00:40:34,099
-i don't have a camera person,
don't have any money,
708
00:40:34,132 --> 00:40:36,167
so I'm just gonna have to
709
00:40:36,201 --> 00:40:38,670
get the kids to be
the camera people, okay?
710
00:40:38,704 --> 00:40:41,172
So, you hold it,
and you videotape it,
711
00:40:41,206 --> 00:40:42,007
and this is what we do here.
712
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:47,245
-dad, I won't film your life.
Bye!
713
00:40:47,278 --> 00:40:51,650
-i'm not filming your life. bye!
714
00:40:53,251 --> 00:40:55,253
a dead bird.
715
00:40:55,286 --> 00:40:57,789
-oh, no.
716
00:40:57,823 --> 00:40:59,758
-yeah.
717
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:03,128
-dad, get me a spade.
718
00:41:07,733 --> 00:41:10,068
-is there anything
that you want to say?
719
00:41:10,101 --> 00:41:11,670
-sorry, bird, that you died.
720
00:41:11,703 --> 00:41:14,172
-that's it.
721
00:41:19,210 --> 00:41:22,013
-life is just a bit simpler
in scotland --
722
00:41:22,047 --> 00:41:25,651
there's good schools, and
there's national health care.
723
00:41:25,684 --> 00:41:28,887
Gotcha!
724
00:41:30,789 --> 00:41:36,528
That is soon to be filled
by another...baby.
725
00:41:36,562 --> 00:41:37,395
Yep.
726
00:41:37,428 --> 00:41:39,297
-another big reason
for being there
727
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:43,034
was that my wife, caz,
was pregnant again.
728
00:41:43,068 --> 00:41:45,804
I didn't tell andy.
729
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:48,306
He wasn't thrilled
when I started having kids,
730
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:52,243
so I decided to keep this one
a surprise.
731
00:42:03,254 --> 00:42:07,693
-when mike moved to scotland,
I felt more adrift than ever.
732
00:42:07,726 --> 00:42:12,230
I knew I had to keep going,
I just didn't know how,
733
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:15,266
or whether it would even matter.
734
00:42:17,302 --> 00:42:20,572
Then a friend of mine
from greenpeace
735
00:42:20,606 --> 00:42:23,742
invited me to have
a little talk...
736
00:42:23,775 --> 00:42:29,781
About the arctic.
737
00:42:29,815 --> 00:42:32,217
-it turns out
the arctic is melting,
738
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:34,252
and it's melting
a whole lot faster
739
00:42:34,285 --> 00:42:36,588
than anyone thought it would.
740
00:42:36,622 --> 00:42:41,259
That's bad news for bears,
but it's even worse news for us.
741
00:42:41,292 --> 00:42:45,030
For one thing, polar ice
reflects the sun's heat,
742
00:42:45,063 --> 00:42:47,065
cooling the entire planet.
743
00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:51,236
When the ice melts,
the world heats up even more.
744
00:42:51,269 --> 00:42:55,073
But what's happening underwater
is even scarier.
745
00:42:55,106 --> 00:42:56,608
Under the arctic seabed
746
00:42:56,642 --> 00:42:59,611
are humongous frozen
methane reserves.
747
00:42:59,645 --> 00:43:00,612
If they unfreeze,
748
00:43:00,646 --> 00:43:03,882
trillions of tons of methane
will be released.
749
00:43:03,915 --> 00:43:07,686
Since methane traps heat
much better than co2,
750
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,623
global warming will
go into warp speed.
751
00:43:13,659 --> 00:43:16,061
We should be freaking out,
752
00:43:16,094 --> 00:43:19,397
but instead, we're celebrating
the melting arctic
753
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,299
as a business opportunity.
754
00:43:21,332 --> 00:43:22,267
-the arctic is the scene
755
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:25,871
for a new kind
of international gold rush.
756
00:43:25,904 --> 00:43:29,307
America, with its lands in
alaska, is seriously interested.
757
00:43:29,340 --> 00:43:32,744
-shell spent $4 billion dollars
lobbying the government
758
00:43:32,778 --> 00:43:34,880
for permission to go drill
in the arctic.
759
00:43:34,913 --> 00:43:38,984
Would obama's administration
sell us out?
760
00:43:39,017 --> 00:43:41,920
-of course we are here
because of our shared concern
761
00:43:41,953 --> 00:43:43,321
and commitment to the arctic.
762
00:43:43,354 --> 00:43:45,290
The melting of sea ice,
for example,
763
00:43:45,323 --> 00:43:47,058
will result in the possibility
764
00:43:47,092 --> 00:43:50,762
to develop newly accessible oil
and gas reserves.
765
00:43:50,796 --> 00:43:52,330
-since the government
766
00:43:52,363 --> 00:43:55,433
was handing over the arctic
to oil companies,
767
00:43:55,466 --> 00:43:57,335
the only way to stop shell
768
00:43:57,368 --> 00:44:00,405
was to appeal directly
to public opinion.
769
00:44:00,438 --> 00:44:02,307
They're going up and drilling,
770
00:44:02,340 --> 00:44:05,744
and the best we can do, really,
is publicize that
771
00:44:05,777 --> 00:44:08,079
and give them
an advertising campaign
772
00:44:08,113 --> 00:44:09,380
worthy of their company.
773
00:44:09,414 --> 00:44:12,884
-we wanted real oilmen
to show up
774
00:44:12,918 --> 00:44:15,954
for what would be
an obscene corporate party.
775
00:44:15,987 --> 00:44:20,025
We've been talking about
having a spigot that spews oil
776
00:44:20,058 --> 00:44:22,928
that's symbolic of turning on
the oil in the north.
777
00:44:22,961 --> 00:44:26,364
-that drilling unit, what was
that called
778
00:44:26,397 --> 00:44:28,399
-kulluk is built by the company
779
00:44:28,433 --> 00:44:30,001
that built
the deepwater horizon.
780
00:44:30,035 --> 00:44:32,470
It was actually gonna be
scrapped before they decided
781
00:44:32,503 --> 00:44:35,340
it should be sent to the arctic.
782
00:44:36,942 --> 00:44:41,012
Our lead engineer
started building and testing
783
00:44:41,046 --> 00:44:43,381
our very own kulluk.
784
00:44:50,388 --> 00:44:52,423
-this time,
we're gonna have 5 actors,
785
00:44:52,457 --> 00:44:54,492
at least, plus 10 more.
786
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,895
It's gonna be like
this theater production.
787
00:44:56,928 --> 00:44:58,363
We've never done
a theater production,
788
00:44:58,396 --> 00:44:59,530
and mike isn't even here!
789
00:44:59,564 --> 00:45:03,468
Mike is in london, scotland,
wherever -- he's far away.
790
00:45:03,501 --> 00:45:08,039
But, you know, it's fine,
it'll be a different thing.
791
00:45:08,073 --> 00:45:10,408
It just makes me nervous.
792
00:45:10,441 --> 00:45:14,880
Um, yeah,
I just wish he were here.
793
00:45:17,082 --> 00:45:18,817
-the nice thing about
this kind of work,
794
00:45:18,850 --> 00:45:20,986
when you finish it,
and it's done,
795
00:45:21,019 --> 00:45:24,990
and, you know, you feel like
you got something done
796
00:45:25,023 --> 00:45:27,458
at the end of the day
or end of the hour.
797
00:45:27,492 --> 00:45:31,229
Whereas, like, a lot
of the stuff with the yes men,
798
00:45:31,262 --> 00:45:35,433
it doesn't result
in anything concrete.
799
00:45:35,466 --> 00:45:37,969
-the kulluk was docked
in seattle,
800
00:45:38,003 --> 00:45:41,072
so we decided
to throw our party there
801
00:45:41,106 --> 00:45:42,240
at the iconic space needle.
802
00:45:42,273 --> 00:45:43,208
We sent out invitations
803
00:45:43,241 --> 00:45:46,978
to the entire
seattle business community.
804
00:45:57,055 --> 00:46:00,758
-okay. oh, boy. 7:05.
805
00:46:07,933 --> 00:46:10,902
-i'm so nervous even though
I'm not doing anything tonight.
806
00:46:10,936 --> 00:46:14,439
I'm just walking on,
and I'm just hanging out,
807
00:46:14,472 --> 00:46:18,176
but I'm incredibly nervous
as if I were performing.
808
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:19,544
-my mind is so blank,
809
00:46:19,577 --> 00:46:22,247
even the words
that have been scripted
810
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,515
and that I will have
in front of me...
811
00:46:24,549 --> 00:46:26,517
I am somewhat concerned
812
00:46:26,551 --> 00:46:29,587
that I will not be able
to read them.
813
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,322
-yeah, there's nothing
to be nervous about.
814
00:46:31,356 --> 00:46:33,825
It's, um, people, uh...
815
00:46:33,859 --> 00:46:36,461
What do you say
to build somebody's confidence?
816
00:46:40,531 --> 00:46:45,603
-it is insane how close it looks
to the real thing.
817
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:48,106
It's so realistic.
818
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:52,243
-uh...it's another one.
819
00:46:53,278 --> 00:46:57,015
I'm googling
"temperature of birthing pool"
820
00:46:57,048 --> 00:46:59,184
just to make sure
that I'm not doing it
821
00:46:59,217 --> 00:47:02,921
at the wrong...temperature.
822
00:47:08,326 --> 00:47:10,095
-uh, let's just put it up there.
823
00:47:12,998 --> 00:47:14,866
-oh, sweet pea.
824
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:20,571
-oh, it's mike bonnano.
825
00:47:20,605 --> 00:47:21,572
Hey!
826
00:47:21,606 --> 00:47:25,043
-hello.
-oh hi.
827
00:47:25,076 --> 00:47:27,045
-i figured this baby
could talk to you.
828
00:47:27,078 --> 00:47:30,381
-yeah, good.
That's very helpful.
829
00:47:30,415 --> 00:47:32,283
-i've kept this a secret
for a while,
830
00:47:32,317 --> 00:47:35,186
but I have another baby.
831
00:47:35,220 --> 00:47:36,888
-you do not.
832
00:47:36,922 --> 00:47:39,324
-i do.
!
833
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:44,029
-yep.
834
00:47:44,062 --> 00:47:45,496
-no!
-yes.
835
00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:47,899
Wow!
836
00:47:49,567 --> 00:47:51,302
Oh, my god.
837
00:47:51,336 --> 00:47:52,570
That's insane.
838
00:47:52,603 --> 00:47:56,541
Um...who here has not had
three babies?
839
00:47:58,376 --> 00:48:01,947
Well, I wish to lodge
a complaint.
840
00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,548
-all right.
841
00:48:29,174 --> 00:48:32,043
-thank you very much.
842
00:48:32,077 --> 00:48:35,680
Welcome to the launch for
shell's arctic-ready campaign.
843
00:48:35,713 --> 00:48:38,583
It's been a long time coming.
844
00:48:38,616 --> 00:48:42,387
Shell is very excited
to drill for resources
845
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:45,590
that are accessible
for the first time in history.
846
00:48:47,692 --> 00:48:49,160
and to attempt feats
of endurance
847
00:48:49,194 --> 00:48:53,031
that no machine
has attempted before.
848
00:48:56,134 --> 00:49:01,206
For centuries men and dogs
have battled with the ice.
849
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,509
Now, finally, we're winning.
850
00:49:04,542 --> 00:49:06,711
For the first time ever,
851
00:49:06,744 --> 00:49:10,481
the ice cover in the arctic
has melted enough
852
00:49:10,515 --> 00:49:12,217
that we can get those resources.
853
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:13,684
-oh, yeah.
854
00:49:13,718 --> 00:49:16,754
It'll be tough, and it'll be
dangerous, but it is possible.
855
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:18,656
That's probably the main reason
856
00:49:18,689 --> 00:49:20,625
that our friends
in the obama administration
857
00:49:20,658 --> 00:49:22,727
were happy to approve our plans.
858
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,763
That's right. and we're glad
to have them on our side.
859
00:49:25,796 --> 00:49:29,300
Of course,
climate change is scary.
860
00:49:29,334 --> 00:49:32,470
The end of civilization,
I mean, that's bad.
861
00:49:32,503 --> 00:49:37,308
But in life, as in business,
pragmatism trumps all.
862
00:49:37,342 --> 00:49:39,477
Drilling in the arctic?
863
00:49:39,510 --> 00:49:42,313
Let's go.
We're pumped. we're pumped.
864
00:49:46,751 --> 00:49:50,121
this is a scale model
of the kulluk,
865
00:49:50,155 --> 00:49:53,458
which in eskimo means
"thumbs up."
866
00:49:53,491 --> 00:49:55,360
The miniature kulluk is designed
867
00:49:55,393 --> 00:49:57,728
to kick off the festive part
of the evening,
868
00:49:57,762 --> 00:50:01,266
uh, by delivering
another precious fluid,
869
00:50:01,299 --> 00:50:03,268
uh, that we may imbibe.
870
00:50:03,301 --> 00:50:05,670
So, we're gonna pour
a ceremonial glass here,
871
00:50:05,703 --> 00:50:07,672
and I would like to be joined
by our special guest, so...
872
00:50:07,705 --> 00:50:11,609
The widow of the late,
great designer of the kulluk,
873
00:50:11,642 --> 00:50:13,311
mrs. enid applebee.
874
00:50:13,344 --> 00:50:15,280
We would like you to have
the first glass
875
00:50:15,313 --> 00:50:16,781
poured from the little kulluk.
876
00:50:16,814 --> 00:50:19,150
-thank you. thank you.
877
00:50:23,654 --> 00:50:26,491
-so, put your glass
right over here, enid,
878
00:50:26,524 --> 00:50:28,626
and we'll fill you up.
879
00:50:28,659 --> 00:50:29,694
- oh my goodness!
880
00:50:29,727 --> 00:50:31,196
Aah!
881
00:50:31,229 --> 00:50:33,064
-on, no.
882
00:50:33,098 --> 00:50:35,466
Oh, my god! Help, please!
Oh, please help!
883
00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:37,135
-stop. stop. stop! Stop!
884
00:50:37,168 --> 00:50:39,304
-oh my goodness!
885
00:50:41,172 --> 00:50:44,709
Who is responsible
for this disaster?
886
00:50:44,742 --> 00:50:47,745
-there's a bit of a spill,
and I think --
887
00:50:47,778 --> 00:50:50,781
-this is cbs 12 news at seven.
888
00:50:50,815 --> 00:50:52,850
This is all a hoax,
an elaborate hoax,
889
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:55,520
by a suspected
environmentalist group.
890
00:50:55,553 --> 00:50:57,288
This video got a lot of play.
891
00:50:58,856 --> 00:51:00,491
the activists are hoping
to point out
892
00:51:00,525 --> 00:51:03,528
that if shell can't control
a drink dispenser,
893
00:51:03,561 --> 00:51:04,762
how are they going to control --
894
00:51:04,795 --> 00:51:07,198
-so, this wasn't really
a shell party?
895
00:51:07,232 --> 00:51:09,867
-no. well, that's why I said
it was a fake.
896
00:51:11,602 --> 00:51:15,106
-my name is dave schechter,
and I'm calling from cnn.
897
00:51:15,140 --> 00:51:19,377
Please explain to me
who it is I have reached.
898
00:51:21,912 --> 00:51:25,216
-our leaked party video
helped expose
899
00:51:25,250 --> 00:51:26,851
what shell was really up to
in the arctic
900
00:51:26,884 --> 00:51:29,620
and the huge risks
they were taking.
901
00:51:29,654 --> 00:51:31,856
-shell could be opening up
the entire arctic to the world.
902
00:51:31,889 --> 00:51:32,990
Are they ready?
903
00:51:33,023 --> 00:51:36,527
Oil companies keep saying
they can conquer the arctic,
904
00:51:36,561 --> 00:51:39,830
but the arctic keeps disagreeing
with the oil companies.
905
00:51:39,864 --> 00:51:43,168
Shell oil is preparing to send
salvage crews
906
00:51:43,201 --> 00:51:45,403
to the waters
in the gulf of alaska.
907
00:51:45,436 --> 00:51:48,139
That's where one of its oil rigs
ran aground on new years eve.
908
00:51:48,173 --> 00:51:51,376
-the rig is carrying more than
140,000 gallons of fuel
909
00:51:51,409 --> 00:51:54,645
and is sitting
in a fragile ocean ecosystem.
910
00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:57,248
-after shell's arctic rigs
ran aground,
911
00:51:57,282 --> 00:52:00,251
the u.s. pulled their permit
to drill.
912
00:52:00,285 --> 00:52:02,353
So what did shell do?
913
00:52:02,387 --> 00:52:04,155
They teamed up with gazprom
914
00:52:04,189 --> 00:52:06,257
to drill in the russian arctic
instead.
915
00:52:06,291 --> 00:52:10,928
Gazprom,
russia's largest energy company,
916
00:52:10,961 --> 00:52:15,800
already spills millions of tons
of oil per year.
917
00:52:15,833 --> 00:52:20,671
But gazprom is
putin's pet corporation.
918
00:52:20,705 --> 00:52:23,174
When activists intervene,
919
00:52:23,208 --> 00:52:26,143
russia responds with bullets
and the gulag.
920
00:52:27,245 --> 00:52:30,815
We needed to do something
almost as crazy
921
00:52:30,848 --> 00:52:35,686
as what gazprom and shell
were doing.
922
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,491
But this time,
I needed mike's help.
923
00:52:40,525 --> 00:52:42,793
-andy keeps trying to get me
to help with a new action,
924
00:52:42,827 --> 00:52:46,197
and, well, he has a point.
925
00:52:46,231 --> 00:52:48,333
This news about
what shell's doing with gazprom,
926
00:52:48,366 --> 00:52:51,336
it makes the most basic instinct
about parenting --
927
00:52:51,369 --> 00:52:55,940
protecting your kids --
into a huge dilemma.
928
00:52:55,973 --> 00:52:59,310
Should I just raise them
in the safest place possible,
929
00:52:59,344 --> 00:53:00,811
or should I try
to stop these maniacs
930
00:53:00,845 --> 00:53:06,284
from destroying their future?
931
00:53:06,317 --> 00:53:07,985
I agreed to help andy
with his plan
932
00:53:08,018 --> 00:53:14,392
to attack shell
on their home turf.
933
00:53:14,425 --> 00:53:16,427
-people needed to know
about the partnership
934
00:53:16,461 --> 00:53:17,895
between gazprom and shell,
935
00:53:17,928 --> 00:53:20,831
the netherlands'
biggest company.
936
00:53:23,734 --> 00:53:26,003
So we'd pose as gazprom,
937
00:53:26,036 --> 00:53:29,707
and deliver to the amsterdam zoo
a spectacular gift
938
00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:32,643
freshly kidnapped
from the russian arctic.
939
00:53:32,677 --> 00:53:34,245
-jesus christ.
940
00:53:36,046 --> 00:53:37,515
-who's in the ass
and who's in the head?
941
00:53:37,548 --> 00:53:39,417
-eh, I was in the ass earlier.
942
00:53:39,450 --> 00:53:41,386
okay.
943
00:53:44,922 --> 00:53:46,724
I love it in here so far,
but when you're in,
944
00:53:46,757 --> 00:53:48,759
I'm not so sure
I'm gonna love it.
945
00:53:48,793 --> 00:53:50,328
My head is gonna be
right up your ass.
946
00:53:50,361 --> 00:53:51,028
-ahh, shut up.
947
00:53:51,061 --> 00:53:52,563
-god damn it.
-shit!
948
00:53:52,597 --> 00:53:55,300
-did you wash at all
today or yesterday?
949
00:53:55,333 --> 00:53:56,033
-yes, I did!
950
00:53:56,066 --> 00:53:57,702
-okay.
951
00:53:57,735 --> 00:53:59,970
Uh, left, right, I mean left...
952
00:54:00,004 --> 00:54:02,973
I don't know how bears walk.
953
00:54:03,007 --> 00:54:04,609
Okay, are we in the cage?
-we're in the cage.
954
00:54:05,843 --> 00:54:08,846
All the way down,
and then we're falling.
955
00:54:08,879 --> 00:54:10,715
Yep, one, two three.
956
00:54:10,748 --> 00:54:12,483
-ow!
-oh sorry!
957
00:54:12,517 --> 00:54:15,353
-oh, right in the eye.
958
00:54:15,386 --> 00:54:18,423
I was super relieved
mike was here.
959
00:54:18,456 --> 00:54:19,990
It meant that this time,
960
00:54:20,024 --> 00:54:22,460
I didn't have to coordinate
everything.
961
00:54:22,493 --> 00:54:24,495
Wait, we're not playing
the tuba, though.
962
00:54:24,529 --> 00:54:27,298
We're just standing around
like dopes, right
963
00:54:27,332 --> 00:54:28,032
-no, you're in the band.
964
00:54:28,065 --> 00:54:30,034
-oh, we're playing instruments.
965
00:54:34,472 --> 00:54:37,708
We're wearing costumes,
we have to get on the boat.
966
00:54:37,742 --> 00:54:39,344
I was a little concerned.
967
00:54:39,377 --> 00:54:42,713
I mean, I thought
this was andy's plan.
968
00:54:42,747 --> 00:54:44,349
-oh yeah, I wanted to know
969
00:54:44,382 --> 00:54:45,950
why you thought
it didn't make sense.
970
00:54:45,983 --> 00:54:47,718
-i was saying
that it's super complicated,
971
00:54:47,752 --> 00:54:49,086
that's what I was saying.
972
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:51,656
-well, yeah,
but so is a lot of what we do.
973
00:54:51,689 --> 00:54:53,991
It just becomes simple,
doesn't it?
974
00:54:54,024 --> 00:54:57,528
-the boat shoves off,
and then the two --
975
00:54:57,562 --> 00:54:59,897
the leo, the russian...
976
00:55:39,704 --> 00:55:40,838
andy. hi.
977
00:55:40,871 --> 00:55:43,941
-the actor playing our
gazprom representative arrived.
978
00:55:43,974 --> 00:55:45,376
papa bear!
979
00:55:45,410 --> 00:55:48,012
-he was super enthusiastic.
980
00:55:48,045 --> 00:55:51,616
There was just
one small problem.
981
00:55:51,649 --> 00:55:54,051
Bad.
982
00:55:54,084 --> 00:55:55,886
-yeah, it's good.
-yeah.
983
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,488
It's perfect.
It's perfect amount.
984
00:55:57,522 --> 00:56:00,057
-yeah, but I know
not a lot of words.
985
00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:04,862
-i did my best to explain
what we were about to do.
986
00:56:04,895 --> 00:56:08,032
So basically,
the bear is in the cage.
987
00:56:08,065 --> 00:56:12,102
The barge is parading
through the canals
988
00:56:12,136 --> 00:56:16,173
before the bear is presented
as a gift from gazprom
989
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:19,877
to shell and the people
of holland at the zoo.
990
00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:21,111
-and...action.
991
00:56:21,145 --> 00:56:24,749
-gazprom is here help to shell.
992
00:56:24,782 --> 00:56:25,916
-to help shell.
993
00:56:25,950 --> 00:56:27,818
Gazprom is here to help shell.
994
00:56:27,852 --> 00:56:29,153
-oh.
995
00:56:29,186 --> 00:56:32,890
And already we help
safely relovate reindeer.
996
00:56:32,923 --> 00:56:34,492
-say "relocate" for me.
997
00:56:34,525 --> 00:56:35,660
-relocate.
998
00:56:35,693 --> 00:56:37,094
-relocate.
-shit.
999
00:56:37,962 --> 00:56:42,032
-we freed bear firmty...
1000
00:56:44,602 --> 00:56:47,938
firmly...for...
1001
00:56:47,972 --> 00:56:49,940
C'mon.
1002
00:56:49,974 --> 00:56:51,476
What is funny?
1003
00:56:51,509 --> 00:56:53,978
Firmly for safely.
1004
00:56:54,011 --> 00:56:55,145
-safety.
1005
00:56:55,179 --> 00:56:57,147
-safety.
Firmly for safety.
1006
00:56:57,181 --> 00:56:59,083
-it was time to launch.
1007
00:56:59,116 --> 00:57:01,619
-oh, it's so creepy.
1008
00:57:34,552 --> 00:57:36,921
-okay, and down.
1009
00:57:36,954 --> 00:57:38,088
-we had tipped off
some reporters
1010
00:57:38,122 --> 00:57:41,191
that a big announcement
was gonna be made at the zoo.
1011
00:57:44,695 --> 00:57:46,096
-now watch the poles!
1012
00:57:47,765 --> 00:57:49,634
-here we go, okay.
1013
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:03,648
-okay, okay.
1014
00:58:08,285 --> 00:58:10,988
No go at the zoo.
1015
00:58:11,021 --> 00:58:13,624
But we could still
pull this off.
1016
00:58:18,195 --> 00:58:24,101
-ladies and gentlemen,
this not just a bear.
1017
00:58:24,134 --> 00:58:27,938
This...the heart of russia.
1018
00:58:27,972 --> 00:58:32,643
For me, very, very, very, very,
very important.
1019
00:58:32,677 --> 00:58:36,714
Important in my life,
important for my family.
1020
00:58:36,747 --> 00:58:42,286
And now, I give this for you,
for you company.
1021
00:58:42,319 --> 00:58:45,956
Shell and gazprom together!
1022
00:58:45,990 --> 00:58:47,157
For future!
1023
00:58:47,191 --> 00:58:51,261
And makey! Only!
Everybody! Funny!
1024
00:58:51,295 --> 00:58:53,097
No, sorry.
1025
00:58:59,269 --> 00:59:01,305
-fantastic.
1026
00:59:01,338 --> 00:59:05,242
Sometimes things don't work out
exactly right.
1027
00:59:07,778 --> 00:59:10,080
sometimes
then afterwards you wonder,
1028
00:59:10,114 --> 00:59:14,685
"how did I not realize that was
not gonna work out quite right?"
1029
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:16,153
Hmm.
1030
00:59:16,186 --> 00:59:19,590
Doesn't it seem pretty obvious
now that that wouldn't work?
1031
00:59:19,624 --> 00:59:21,325
-oh yeah, let's get some food.
Good idea.
1032
00:59:21,358 --> 00:59:22,827
-you're not answering.
1033
00:59:24,762 --> 00:59:28,633
I dunno, it just seems like it
was prone to -- it was doomed.
1034
00:59:39,009 --> 00:59:41,979
Whenever we would do actions,
I would always think like,
1035
00:59:42,012 --> 00:59:45,082
"this is the one that's gonna
change everything."
1036
00:59:45,115 --> 00:59:46,383
I would convince myself of that.
1037
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:50,187
And then afterwards there would
be this huge depression like,
1038
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:53,958
"oh, it didn't change
everything."
1039
00:59:56,827 --> 01:00:00,197
I decided
to go recharge my batteries.
1040
01:00:00,230 --> 01:00:02,900
-this is where we should get gas
1041
01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:04,368
gas is really good here.
1042
01:00:04,401 --> 01:00:07,705
It's, like, got
this special little kick.
1043
01:00:07,738 --> 01:00:08,973
Umm...
1044
01:00:09,006 --> 01:00:10,207
Oh fuck, it's shell.
1045
01:00:11,241 --> 01:00:13,377
-now that we have
more daylight,
1046
01:00:13,410 --> 01:00:15,412
you need more energy
to enjoy the outdoors.
1047
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:18,282
Come inside and grab your
favorite energy drink today.
1048
01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:21,251
-that's true. no.
I just pressed "no."
1049
01:00:21,285 --> 01:00:23,821
-rockstar energy drinks and
harley davidson motorcycles.
1050
01:00:23,854 --> 01:00:24,855
-hmm. no.
1051
01:00:24,889 --> 01:00:26,390
-now that I have
your attention --
1052
01:00:26,423 --> 01:00:27,925
-no.
-buy any two rockstar...
1053
01:00:27,958 --> 01:00:30,127
-no, no, no, no.
...16-ounce cans at our two --
1054
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,063
-mute.
1055
01:00:33,097 --> 01:00:34,665
-this is my high school.
1056
01:00:34,699 --> 01:00:38,368
Oh, there's
a high school student. hello.
1057
01:00:40,437 --> 01:00:42,907
They did not have that
when I was here.
1058
01:00:42,940 --> 01:00:44,942
That.
1059
01:00:44,975 --> 01:00:47,177
-i was a jewish kid in arizona,
1060
01:00:47,211 --> 01:00:49,446
I was a little gay kid
in arizona,
1061
01:00:49,479 --> 01:00:52,182
I was the child of immigrants.
1062
01:00:52,216 --> 01:00:54,885
It was just a soup of weirdness.
1063
01:00:54,919 --> 01:00:57,387
-my dad grew up in belgium
during the holocaust
1064
01:00:57,421 --> 01:00:59,423
and had to hide out on farms.
1065
01:00:59,456 --> 01:01:03,227
My dad's dad went to auschwitz.
1066
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:05,763
If you grew up
fleeing the nazis,
1067
01:01:05,796 --> 01:01:07,397
it was pretty obvious,
I guess,
1068
01:01:07,431 --> 01:01:09,299
that power didn't
always tell the truth,
1069
01:01:10,167 --> 01:01:12,402
and it couldn't
always be trusted.
1070
01:01:15,272 --> 01:01:19,409
This is the airplane graveyard
I used to come to in high school
1071
01:01:19,443 --> 01:01:21,846
when I needed to get away
from everything.
1072
01:01:24,882 --> 01:01:26,450
But then I rediscovered
1073
01:01:26,483 --> 01:01:30,387
how fun people could be
when I was a junior.
1074
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:31,255
I told everybody that I was
1075
01:01:31,288 --> 01:01:33,758
the grandson
of the ayatollah khomeini
1076
01:01:33,791 --> 01:01:37,094
who was public enemy number-one
at the time.
1077
01:01:37,127 --> 01:01:40,030
That's me! I'm his grandson!
1078
01:01:40,064 --> 01:01:41,198
At first, nobody believed me,
1079
01:01:41,231 --> 01:01:44,401
and then eventually a lot
of people would come up to me
1080
01:01:44,434 --> 01:01:46,003
and say "are you really
the grandson
1081
01:01:46,036 --> 01:01:47,004
of the ayatollah khomeini?"
1082
01:01:48,906 --> 01:01:52,743
that was the first time
I realized
1083
01:01:52,777 --> 01:01:55,345
I could just make up
another identity for myself
1084
01:01:55,379 --> 01:01:57,014
in real life.
1085
01:02:00,117 --> 01:02:02,419
When mike and I started doing
this kind of work together,
1086
01:02:02,452 --> 01:02:04,488
it was the first time
in my entire life
1087
01:02:04,521 --> 01:02:05,455
that I was just doing something
1088
01:02:05,489 --> 01:02:09,994
and not questioning
whether it made sense.
1089
01:02:12,129 --> 01:02:15,132
And then when that broke down,
I was kind of in this pit
1090
01:02:15,165 --> 01:02:19,403
of, like, "what good is this?
Will anything ever change?"
1091
01:02:24,241 --> 01:02:28,145
-an extraordinary act of daring
in the country of tunisia.
1092
01:02:28,178 --> 01:02:29,279
People took to the street
1093
01:02:29,313 --> 01:02:32,516
and forced out one of
the toughest dictators on earth.
1094
01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:33,483
-in a three-week period,
1095
01:02:33,517 --> 01:02:37,021
a series of non-violent,
democratic movements
1096
01:02:37,054 --> 01:02:39,489
have toppled three governments
throughout the middle east.
1097
01:02:39,523 --> 01:02:42,559
-governments are worried
that a revolution by the people,
1098
01:02:42,592 --> 01:02:45,529
for the people might be headed
to their country next.
1099
01:02:45,562 --> 01:02:49,533
-we watched spellbound
as people around the world
1100
01:02:49,566 --> 01:02:52,436
rose up against
overwhelming odds.
1101
01:02:52,469 --> 01:02:55,105
-tens of thousands
have voiced their fury
1102
01:02:55,139 --> 01:02:58,142
over unemployment
and the apparent indifference
1103
01:02:58,175 --> 01:02:59,509
of mainstream politicians.
1104
01:02:59,543 --> 01:03:02,512
-and then in new york,
a protest erupted --
1105
01:03:02,546 --> 01:03:04,849
not just against government,
1106
01:03:04,882 --> 01:03:09,519
but against everything
that was wrong with our system.
1107
01:03:14,024 --> 01:03:15,525
-occupy wall street --
the protest
1108
01:03:15,559 --> 01:03:17,995
to growing income inequality
in this country.
1109
01:03:18,028 --> 01:03:20,097
-environmental issues, health,
education.
1110
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:23,500
Are they lenin and trotsky?
1111
01:03:23,533 --> 01:03:24,701
I don't know what they are.
1112
01:03:24,734 --> 01:03:30,841
-and some are calling this
the us version of tahrir square.
1113
01:03:30,875 --> 01:03:33,978
-i am here from egypt...
-i am here from egypt...
1114
01:03:34,011 --> 01:03:38,916
-...just to lend my solidarity.
-...just to lend my solidarity.
1115
01:03:38,949 --> 01:03:41,085
-we are a part
of the global revolution...
1116
01:03:41,118 --> 01:03:43,587
-we are a part
of the global revolution...
1117
01:03:43,620 --> 01:03:46,356
-...for social
and economic justice.
1118
01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:49,326
-...for social
and economic justice.
1119
01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:51,962
-young people are aiming
1120
01:03:51,996 --> 01:03:54,131
to overthrow
the u.s. financial system.
1121
01:03:54,164 --> 01:03:56,633
And, I mean seriously,
1122
01:03:56,666 --> 01:03:59,870
there's like a real, you know,
chance for change here.
1123
01:03:59,904 --> 01:04:02,472
And because of them,
1124
01:04:02,506 --> 01:04:06,610
the entire world knows that
there's a major problem here.
1125
01:04:06,643 --> 01:04:09,079
It's incredibly effective.
1126
01:04:22,026 --> 01:04:23,193
-can anyone call
a general assembly?
1127
01:04:23,227 --> 01:04:25,862
Do you know?
1128
01:04:29,967 --> 01:04:32,502
-our process...
-our process...
1129
01:04:32,536 --> 01:04:36,006
-...is direct democracy.
-...is direct democracy.
1130
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,575
-there is no...
-there is no...
1131
01:04:38,608 --> 01:04:41,345
-...hierarchy.
-...hierarchy.
1132
01:04:46,216 --> 01:04:50,887
who knew that so many people
felt the same way that we did?
1133
01:04:54,391 --> 01:04:56,326
-i gotta pay bank fees like you,
1134
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,196
and I see corporations
getting money handed to them,
1135
01:04:59,229 --> 01:05:01,565
and the c.e.o.s making five,
six million dollars
1136
01:05:01,598 --> 01:05:03,100
after they took money
to bail them out --
1137
01:05:03,133 --> 01:05:05,435
that pisses me off, too, man.
C'mon.
1138
01:05:05,469 --> 01:05:07,938
-since even the cops
were fed up,
1139
01:05:07,972 --> 01:05:10,340
maybe they should join
a protest.
1140
01:05:10,374 --> 01:05:14,478
-hey, are you using those pizza
boxes to sleep on or...?
1141
01:05:14,511 --> 01:05:15,980
-yeah.
-oh, okay.
1142
01:05:16,013 --> 01:05:17,948
we want to make signs.
1143
01:05:17,982 --> 01:05:19,583
-oh, you can take them.
1144
01:05:19,616 --> 01:05:21,718
-we're done with sleeping.
-oh, okay!
1145
01:05:21,751 --> 01:05:23,653
-huddle. huddle, everybody,
huddle. huddle. huddle. huddle.
1146
01:05:23,687 --> 01:05:25,622
All right, so this is the deal.
1147
01:05:25,655 --> 01:05:27,958
We are going
on a brokers' march.
1148
01:05:27,992 --> 01:05:29,626
We try to get police
to go with us.
1149
01:05:58,188 --> 01:06:03,327
[ chanting
"wall street is our street!" ]
1150
01:06:10,734 --> 01:06:14,004
-as we walked,
more and more police showed up
1151
01:06:14,038 --> 01:06:16,040
to make sure
we didn't cause trouble.
1152
01:06:18,275 --> 01:06:23,280
[ chanting "brokers and police
for the occupation!" ]
1153
01:06:37,827 --> 01:06:39,696
it finally made sense to me
1154
01:06:39,729 --> 01:06:42,532
why we'd been doing stuff
for so long.
1155
01:06:42,566 --> 01:06:45,669
You're part of something,
and then boom --
1156
01:06:45,702 --> 01:06:49,739
anything can happen.
1157
01:06:49,773 --> 01:06:51,475
-basically we had given up,
1158
01:06:51,508 --> 01:06:56,380
and then suddenly people were
there fighting for their future,
1159
01:06:56,413 --> 01:06:57,747
and they saw the connection
1160
01:06:57,781 --> 01:07:00,684
between the money system
and the environment.
1161
01:07:00,717 --> 01:07:04,221
[ chanting, "hey, obama! We
don't want no climate drama!" ]
1162
01:07:04,254 --> 01:07:05,689
-wall street's been occupying
the atmosphere
1163
01:07:05,722 --> 01:07:07,524
for 25 or 30 years.
1164
01:07:07,557 --> 01:07:08,525
We can never get anything done
1165
01:07:08,558 --> 01:07:10,660
because big oil
just puts the kibosh on it.
1166
01:07:10,694 --> 01:07:11,828
Everybody's finally just saying,
"enough.
1167
01:07:11,861 --> 01:07:15,365
Corporations don't get to
run everything all the time."
1168
01:07:15,399 --> 01:07:19,836
-we are at a tipping point
for this environmental movement.
1169
01:07:19,869 --> 01:07:24,508
With enough pressure,
we can change history right now!
1170
01:07:24,541 --> 01:07:26,710
Today!
1171
01:07:29,646 --> 01:07:33,117
-in every way, occupy was
exactly what I was looking for.
1172
01:07:33,150 --> 01:07:36,453
It felt like when I first
started working with mike --
1173
01:07:36,486 --> 01:07:39,556
it just flowed.
1174
01:07:39,589 --> 01:07:42,792
-the entire way
that we got started
1175
01:07:42,826 --> 01:07:45,795
when we were doing
the anti-globalization stuff
1176
01:07:45,829 --> 01:07:47,764
was by working as a little cell
1177
01:07:47,797 --> 01:07:49,433
that contributed
to a big movement.
1178
01:07:49,466 --> 01:07:52,102
It was a global movement.
1179
01:07:54,304 --> 01:07:58,775
I hadn't felt part of something
like that in a really long time.
1180
01:08:04,248 --> 01:08:06,383
-on occupy,
cities across the country
1181
01:08:06,416 --> 01:08:08,685
telling wall street protesters
time is up.
1182
01:08:08,718 --> 01:08:12,156
-in the middle of the night,
new york city police raided
1183
01:08:12,189 --> 01:08:14,824
and cleared out the
occupy wall street encampment.
1184
01:08:14,858 --> 01:08:16,726
-move! Move!
1185
01:08:22,699 --> 01:08:25,569
!
1186
01:08:25,602 --> 01:08:28,838
-you gotta move. let's go.
1187
01:08:28,872 --> 01:08:29,873
-get back!
1188
01:08:45,289 --> 01:08:46,356
-let's go, sir.
1189
01:08:46,390 --> 01:08:47,724
-it's that or you go to jail!
Let's go right now!
1190
01:08:47,757 --> 01:08:48,925
Move!
1191
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:50,160
-what you're doing now
is illegal.
1192
01:08:50,194 --> 01:08:52,662
You know what?
1193
01:08:52,696 --> 01:08:53,930
-it's within my rights
to videotape.
1194
01:08:53,963 --> 01:08:54,764
-no, it's not.
1195
01:08:54,798 --> 01:08:56,800
!
Sir!
1196
01:08:56,833 --> 01:08:58,302
I'm not fucking with you.
1197
01:08:58,335 --> 01:09:00,937
-sometimes,
if you get pushed around,
1198
01:09:00,970 --> 01:09:03,907
you just want
to push back harder.
1199
01:09:08,545 --> 01:09:10,547
-can we get cameras
on them arresting?!
1200
01:09:12,916 --> 01:09:16,152
-we decided to move back
to new york.
1201
01:09:22,292 --> 01:09:25,762
-this is zucotti square
after the eviction.
1202
01:09:25,795 --> 01:09:28,565
Just feels like nostalgia.
1203
01:09:28,598 --> 01:09:32,536
Like, the center of intensity
is elsewhere now,
1204
01:09:32,569 --> 01:09:37,274
and that's normal 'cause
movements aren't just one thing.
1205
01:09:37,307 --> 01:09:39,976
Movements just, like, surface,
and something happens,
1206
01:09:40,009 --> 01:09:43,880
and then they sink and appear
in a radically different way.
1207
01:10:04,401 --> 01:10:07,271
-it's definitely weird.
1208
01:10:07,304 --> 01:10:09,005
Like there's three storms
at once,
1209
01:10:09,038 --> 01:10:11,941
and they're all hitting here.
1210
01:10:15,011 --> 01:10:17,847
-the east coast bracing
for a monster storm.
1211
01:10:17,881 --> 01:10:19,883
-hurricane sandy crashing
on shore,
1212
01:10:19,916 --> 01:10:22,852
winds now
at 90 miles per hour.
1213
01:10:22,886 --> 01:10:26,956
-it is chaos
along the jersey shore.
1214
01:10:29,393 --> 01:10:32,028
-this is the time to try to
save yourself and your family.
1215
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:34,898
-6 to 12 feet of sea
and river flow,
1216
01:10:34,931 --> 01:10:37,934
fill low-lying areas
of manhattan like a basin.
1217
01:10:41,070 --> 01:10:43,373
-it's like
the apocalypse has hit.
1218
01:10:46,042 --> 01:10:50,347
-this is the new normal.
Climate change is a reality.
1219
01:10:58,021 --> 01:10:59,022
No, you don't.
1220
01:10:59,055 --> 01:11:05,295
That's because that's manhattan
without power.
1221
01:11:05,329 --> 01:11:08,832
I don't think
I can make it through there.
1222
01:11:33,723 --> 01:11:36,893
jesus christ.
1223
01:11:36,926 --> 01:11:40,063
It doesn't really end, does it?
1224
01:11:59,983 --> 01:12:02,085
-look at these.
1225
01:12:02,118 --> 01:12:03,853
These are from the '50s.
1226
01:12:03,887 --> 01:12:04,888
-oh, shit.
1227
01:12:04,921 --> 01:12:08,625
-old family photos
that have just drifted out.
1228
01:12:42,191 --> 01:12:42,992
-the occupy wall street network
1229
01:12:43,026 --> 01:12:45,395
just went into, like,
full effect.
1230
01:12:45,429 --> 01:12:48,398
I mean, lower east side, um,
you have it in sunset park,
1231
01:12:48,432 --> 01:12:50,400
you know,
you have it in rockaway.
1232
01:12:50,434 --> 01:12:51,968
We went,
set up kitchens everywhere.
1233
01:12:52,001 --> 01:12:55,405
It was amazing.
1234
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,006
-it's amazing
that a community-relief effort
1235
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,409
led by any volunteer
that could go
1236
01:12:59,443 --> 01:13:02,045
got here three days
before the national guard
1237
01:13:02,078 --> 01:13:03,413
and the red cross.
1238
01:13:08,151 --> 01:13:11,688
-occupy may have been kicked out
of wall street,
1239
01:13:11,721 --> 01:13:14,491
but the occupy networks
were alive and well,
1240
01:13:14,524 --> 01:13:18,027
and were busy trying to save
the city that had evicted them.
1241
01:13:30,006 --> 01:13:31,641
it was just announced
1242
01:13:31,675 --> 01:13:35,645
that apparently our power
is gonna be out for four days,
1243
01:13:35,679 --> 01:13:39,983
and I live on the 19th floor.
1244
01:13:42,051 --> 01:13:45,722
-wait for me.
1245
01:13:55,499 --> 01:13:58,134
hold on.
1246
01:14:02,271 --> 01:14:05,609
here we go -- wine.
1247
01:14:11,515 --> 01:14:15,251
It was kind of weird,
what you did in, um, seattle.
1248
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:16,720
When I was in seattle.
1249
01:14:16,753 --> 01:14:18,822
I withheld some information.
1250
01:14:18,855 --> 01:14:20,490
Yes, yes I did.
1251
01:14:20,524 --> 01:14:23,226
-you didn't tell me
that you were having a child.
1252
01:14:23,259 --> 01:14:26,796
This is not
the way a friend behaves.
1253
01:14:26,830 --> 01:14:31,668
-you never once said,
"oh, congratulations
1254
01:14:31,701 --> 01:14:34,203
about your first child,
or your second child."
1255
01:14:34,237 --> 01:14:37,006
I never said congratulations...
1256
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,142
About child one or child two?
1257
01:14:39,175 --> 01:14:41,611
-i...i don't --
no, I don't think so.
1258
01:14:41,645 --> 01:14:45,749
-i'm probably, actually,
probably a bit jealous.
1259
01:14:45,782 --> 01:14:47,584
-yeah.
1260
01:14:47,617 --> 01:14:49,218
You have this thing
that you love,
1261
01:14:49,252 --> 01:14:51,955
and it loves you and --
am I romanticizing it?
1262
01:14:51,988 --> 01:14:54,090
-no, no.
It's exactly the way it is.
1263
01:14:56,225 --> 01:14:57,426
that's accurate.
1264
01:14:57,460 --> 01:15:00,229
-i know you didn't have kids
to hurt me, but --
1265
01:15:01,497 --> 01:15:06,736
like, it means that I haven't
had a partner to work with.
1266
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,744
-okay, I should have...
1267
01:15:14,778 --> 01:15:16,980
I should have told you
about the baby.
1268
01:15:17,013 --> 01:15:19,015
I should have told you
about the baby.
1269
01:15:19,048 --> 01:15:21,551
-you have three kids,
1270
01:15:21,585 --> 01:15:25,689
and we fly around in airplanes,
and we eat meat.
1271
01:15:25,722 --> 01:15:27,223
-yeah, we're hypocrites!
1272
01:15:27,256 --> 01:15:29,225
We grow up thinking
that you have to get ahead
1273
01:15:29,258 --> 01:15:31,761
by getting a better job,
thinking that you have to
1274
01:15:31,795 --> 01:15:33,630
accumulate as much wealth
as you can,
1275
01:15:33,663 --> 01:15:37,300
thinking about all these things
that become like breathing.
1276
01:15:37,333 --> 01:15:40,336
-mmm-hmm.
1277
01:15:40,369 --> 01:15:43,206
How do we deal with that?
1278
01:15:43,239 --> 01:15:44,073
-that's it, yeah.
1279
01:15:44,107 --> 01:15:47,043
You have to change
the whole culture.
1280
01:15:47,076 --> 01:15:48,277
That's what it is.
1281
01:15:48,311 --> 01:15:50,580
I mean, it's like,
it's revolution
1282
01:15:50,614 --> 01:15:53,850
'cause it's, like,
really changing everything.
1283
01:15:53,883 --> 01:15:55,685
You know why I stay optimistic
1284
01:15:55,719 --> 01:15:58,588
even though it's completely
kind of irrational?
1285
01:15:58,622 --> 01:16:01,891
There are so many struggles
that have won
1286
01:16:01,925 --> 01:16:05,361
that seemed
completely impossible to win.
1287
01:16:05,394 --> 01:16:08,297
And climate change
certainly seems enormous,
1288
01:16:08,331 --> 01:16:11,167
but it seems
when a lot of people decide
1289
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,803
to do something, they succeed.
1290
01:16:20,309 --> 01:16:23,179
-he's still sleeping.
1291
01:16:26,049 --> 01:16:28,985
He's still alive.
1292
01:16:29,018 --> 01:16:32,355
Power's still out.
1293
01:16:33,923 --> 01:16:35,859
-yeah, awesome.
1294
01:16:35,892 --> 01:16:37,994
-mmm.
1295
01:16:38,027 --> 01:16:39,228
-i made it.
1296
01:16:39,262 --> 01:16:42,699
I've become very good
at making pears.
1297
01:16:48,137 --> 01:16:49,272
-so, we have to work.
-yeah.
1298
01:16:49,305 --> 01:16:51,240
-we have to get back
in the saddle.
1299
01:16:51,274 --> 01:16:53,209
I mean, cheers.
-cheers.
1300
01:16:53,242 --> 01:16:56,379
To saddle.
-yes.
1301
01:17:00,984 --> 01:17:05,855
-we knew there was a way
to pull the plug on big oil.
1302
01:17:08,958 --> 01:17:11,695
It was time for a showdown.
1303
01:17:11,728 --> 01:17:16,365
Ever since we'd met gitz, we'd
wanted to do something together.
1304
01:17:16,399 --> 01:17:18,868
Posing as government bigwigs,
1305
01:17:18,902 --> 01:17:22,371
we would infiltrate
a homeland-security conference
1306
01:17:22,405 --> 01:17:26,109
and announce that the u.s.a.
Was outlawing fossil fuels
1307
01:17:26,142 --> 01:17:28,712
and replacing them
with renewables.
1308
01:17:28,745 --> 01:17:30,680
And the best part?
1309
01:17:30,714 --> 01:17:32,682
The new wind
and solar power plants
1310
01:17:32,716 --> 01:17:34,383
would be owned by native tribes
1311
01:17:34,417 --> 01:17:37,353
as partial reparations
for genocide.
1312
01:17:37,386 --> 01:17:38,922
-to actually have white people
1313
01:17:38,955 --> 01:17:41,324
wearing bands that say
"native headdress,"
1314
01:17:41,357 --> 01:17:43,359
and instead of a feather,
a windmill,
1315
01:17:43,392 --> 01:17:45,895
this is us making fun
of the american ideal
1316
01:17:45,929 --> 01:17:47,263
of what it is to be indian.
1317
01:17:47,296 --> 01:17:51,267
-this would truly be
a second thanksgiving.
1318
01:17:51,300 --> 01:17:54,237
-i told the conference
1319
01:17:54,270 --> 01:17:56,973
that I represented
general colin powell,
1320
01:17:57,006 --> 01:18:00,009
and they were pumped
to have him speak.
1321
01:18:00,043 --> 01:18:02,812
-so, our speakers are running
just a tad late,
1322
01:18:02,846 --> 01:18:04,347
but we're not gonna worry
about it.
1323
01:18:04,380 --> 01:18:07,884
General colin powell is, uh,
coming to speak to us,
1324
01:18:07,917 --> 01:18:10,086
and he's bringing
a couple of colleagues.
1325
01:18:10,119 --> 01:18:13,790
-general powell, of course,
would not show up.
1326
01:18:13,823 --> 01:18:16,392
But his colleagues
were nearly there.
1327
01:18:16,425 --> 01:18:19,362
-oh, my god. you guys!
1328
01:18:19,395 --> 01:18:21,397
Is this not gonna be
a total giveaway?
1329
01:18:21,430 --> 01:18:22,331
-no.
1330
01:18:22,365 --> 01:18:25,802
-is there a way to like,
you know, maybe...
1331
01:18:25,835 --> 01:18:28,504
Make it a little less...
Like it is?
1332
01:18:30,373 --> 01:18:31,507
-who's the other presentation
you have?
1333
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:33,476
-well, the admiral,
1334
01:18:33,509 --> 01:18:36,846
and he's followed by the deputy
of the secret service.
1335
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,916
So, you've got two, like,
exceedingly senior people.
1336
01:18:39,949 --> 01:18:41,184
-okay. all right.
1337
01:18:41,217 --> 01:18:44,487
Well, I'm gonna just confirm
with them because he's so late,
1338
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:45,755
I'm beginning to wonder
what's going on.
1339
01:18:45,789 --> 01:18:47,523
-this is mr.benedict waterman.
1340
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:50,760
-hi, barbara alexander,
I'm so glad to meet you.
1341
01:18:50,794 --> 01:18:52,996
-hello.
-hi.
1342
01:18:53,029 --> 01:18:55,031
-i'm nervous.
1343
01:18:55,064 --> 01:18:57,767
Me and tito are sitting down,
we're trying to make small talk.
1344
01:19:25,261 --> 01:19:29,098
-these guys weren't exactly
tree-hugging eco freaks.
1345
01:19:29,132 --> 01:19:33,536
We had an aspiring republican
congressman, a two-star general,
1346
01:19:33,569 --> 01:19:36,372
lots of defense contractors,
1347
01:19:36,405 --> 01:19:38,942
and weird security guards
in trench coats.
1348
01:19:38,975 --> 01:19:43,046
How would they react
to an energy revolution?
1349
01:19:43,079 --> 01:19:45,481
-our first speaker is, uh,
1350
01:19:45,514 --> 01:19:47,583
undersecretary
of policy implementation
1351
01:19:47,616 --> 01:19:52,288
at the department of energy,
mr. benedict waterman.
1352
01:19:58,594 --> 01:20:01,230
-on behalf
of the department of energy,
1353
01:20:01,264 --> 01:20:03,599
I'm very excited
to announce today
1354
01:20:03,632 --> 01:20:05,601
a great new plan that will do
nothing less
1355
01:20:05,634 --> 01:20:08,571
than convert
the united states' energy grid
1356
01:20:08,604 --> 01:20:12,308
into one that's powered entirely
by renewable sources.
1357
01:20:12,341 --> 01:20:14,477
As the dire reality
of climate change
1358
01:20:14,510 --> 01:20:16,612
becomes more
and more inescapable,
1359
01:20:16,645 --> 01:20:19,883
people will take the future
into their own hands.
1360
01:20:19,916 --> 01:20:22,218
And historically we know
that popular resistance
1361
01:20:22,251 --> 01:20:26,589
is a force that can only, with
difficulty, be countervailed.
1362
01:20:26,622 --> 01:20:28,557
A revolutionary
energy program today
1363
01:20:28,591 --> 01:20:31,327
is easier than
a real revolution tomorrow.
1364
01:20:34,463 --> 01:20:37,533
by 2030,
america will produce 100%
1365
01:20:37,566 --> 01:20:39,602
of our energy from renewables,
1366
01:20:39,635 --> 01:20:42,505
establishing us once again
as a global leader
1367
01:20:42,538 --> 01:20:45,474
in confronting the supreme
challenge of climate change.
1368
01:20:51,915 --> 01:20:54,383
we're excited to be working with
the bureau of indian affairs
1369
01:20:54,417 --> 01:20:58,087
and some of the largest tribes
from arizona to the dakotas
1370
01:20:58,121 --> 01:21:00,256
to site major wind
and solar facilities
1371
01:21:00,289 --> 01:21:03,626
that will provide a large chunk
of america's power.
1372
01:21:03,659 --> 01:21:05,661
The tribes will own
these facilities,
1373
01:21:05,694 --> 01:21:08,564
they will provide an enormous
stimulus to the economy,
1374
01:21:08,597 --> 01:21:11,400
and great resilience
in the face of future threats.
1375
01:21:11,434 --> 01:21:15,404
It's time
for a second thanksgiving.
1376
01:21:22,445 --> 01:21:23,679
-i am bana slow horse,
1377
01:21:23,712 --> 01:21:26,482
and the director
of industrial development
1378
01:21:26,515 --> 01:21:28,117
for the bureau
of indian affairs.
1379
01:21:28,151 --> 01:21:29,652
I am a member
of the wannabe nation.
1380
01:21:29,685 --> 01:21:32,155
Joining me is my nephew here.
1381
01:21:32,188 --> 01:21:35,658
He's a fire chief, a war chief,
a water chief,
1382
01:21:35,691 --> 01:21:37,126
and he's actually
also a midwife.
1383
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:38,627
Helps young mothers.
1384
01:21:41,264 --> 01:21:44,600
there's a long, sordid history
between the americans
1385
01:21:44,633 --> 01:21:45,734
and indigenous peoples,
1386
01:21:45,768 --> 01:21:49,005
and it always hasn't been
a beneficial relationship,
1387
01:21:49,038 --> 01:21:50,439
at least not to us.
1388
01:21:50,473 --> 01:21:53,242
For the first time,
we have a voice,
1389
01:21:53,276 --> 01:21:57,013
and we will own, truly own,
this new energy production,
1390
01:21:57,046 --> 01:21:58,647
and that's progress.
1391
01:21:58,681 --> 01:22:01,284
And it will build us
a stronger economy,
1392
01:22:01,317 --> 01:22:05,989
a brighter future, it will give
something our children.
1393
01:22:09,658 --> 01:22:12,095
-there was a lot of work done
on benedict's behalf,
1394
01:22:12,128 --> 01:22:14,497
just want to acknowledge
and honor that.
1395
01:22:14,530 --> 01:22:18,201
So, I actually went and killed a
deer, I tanned the hide myself.
1396
01:22:20,669 --> 01:22:24,974
I give you this gift.
1397
01:22:29,378 --> 01:22:32,281
to mark this grand occasion
between our two peoples,
1398
01:22:32,315 --> 01:22:34,650
um, we want to acknowledge this
with a round dance,
1399
01:22:34,683 --> 01:22:37,620
and I encourage everybody
to join us together.
1400
01:22:37,653 --> 01:22:40,089
-we just...
1401
01:22:40,123 --> 01:22:42,725
-form a circle around us
if it's possible.
1402
01:22:42,758 --> 01:22:43,592
-all the way around.
1403
01:22:43,626 --> 01:22:45,961
-yeah,
we can do all the way around.
1404
01:22:50,666 --> 01:22:53,069
-ladies and gentlemen,
uh, excuse me.
1405
01:22:53,102 --> 01:22:56,105
I composed this song
for this occasion,
1406
01:22:56,139 --> 01:22:59,408
I made it a simple song
so we can sing it together
1407
01:22:59,442 --> 01:23:02,711
because it's not just my song,
it belongs to all of us.
1408
01:23:04,580 --> 01:23:06,215
* Wayahey
1409
01:23:06,249 --> 01:23:08,351
-* Wayahey
1410
01:23:08,384 --> 01:23:09,485
-* Wayaho
1411
01:23:09,518 --> 01:23:12,121
-* Wayaho
1412
01:23:12,155 --> 01:23:13,656
-* Wayahay
1413
01:23:13,689 --> 01:23:15,758
-* Wayahay
1414
01:23:15,791 --> 01:23:17,560
-* Wayaho
1415
01:23:17,593 --> 01:23:19,528
-* Wayaho
1416
01:23:19,562 --> 01:23:21,497
-* Wayahey, hey, now
1417
01:23:21,530 --> 01:23:24,133
-* Wayahey, hey, now
1418
01:23:24,167 --> 01:23:25,601
-* Waya-hohoho
1419
01:23:25,634 --> 01:23:27,303
-* Waya-hohoho
1420
01:23:27,336 --> 01:23:29,372
-* The sun gonna shine
1421
01:23:29,405 --> 01:23:30,806
-* The sun gonna shine
1422
01:23:30,839 --> 01:23:32,775
-* The wind gonna blow
1423
01:23:32,808 --> 01:23:34,410
-* The wind gonna blow
1424
01:23:34,443 --> 01:23:36,779
-* That's all we need
1425
01:23:36,812 --> 01:23:38,781
-* That's all we need
1426
01:23:38,814 --> 01:23:40,483
-* To continue to grow
1427
01:23:40,516 --> 01:23:42,718
-* To continue to grow
1428
01:23:55,164 --> 01:23:56,699
-uh, it would be worthwhile,
I think,
1429
01:23:56,732 --> 01:23:58,801
to get an opportunity
to perhaps chat with you
1430
01:23:58,834 --> 01:24:00,536
or your staff or
whoever you deem appropriate.
1431
01:24:00,569 --> 01:24:01,770
-absolutely.
1432
01:24:10,713 --> 01:24:11,514
-thank you. thank you so much.
1433
01:24:14,650 --> 01:24:16,485
-so, I have
a lot sisters and, uh...
1434
01:24:19,622 --> 01:24:20,256
Definitely, definitely.
1435
01:24:25,761 --> 01:24:28,297
-that's fantastic. so excited.
1436
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:32,935
-great.
1437
01:24:32,968 --> 01:24:34,570
-i was surprised to see someone
from northrup grumman
1438
01:24:34,603 --> 01:24:35,804
acting so excited.
1439
01:24:35,838 --> 01:24:36,805
You weren't talking
about weapons,
1440
01:24:36,839 --> 01:24:37,873
you're talking about renewables.
1441
01:24:37,906 --> 01:24:39,742
-you know, surprisingly enough,
1442
01:24:39,775 --> 01:24:42,445
most people are not
megalomaniacally insane,
1443
01:24:42,478 --> 01:24:45,281
even people who work
for northrup grumman.
1444
01:24:45,314 --> 01:24:47,150
And if they're given
the opportunity
1445
01:24:47,183 --> 01:24:50,153
to, uh, do what they
actually believe in their hearts
1446
01:24:50,186 --> 01:24:52,221
is the right thing,
they go with it.
1447
01:24:52,255 --> 01:24:55,124
-the fact that we could get
all these people that we think
1448
01:24:55,158 --> 01:24:56,792
of as being from the dark side
1449
01:24:56,825 --> 01:24:58,827
to dance in support
of renewable energy
1450
01:24:58,861 --> 01:25:01,130
is that there are very few
people who actually want us
1451
01:25:01,164 --> 01:25:03,532
to continue
on this fossil-fuel path.
1452
01:25:03,566 --> 01:25:04,900
And we have to force our leaders
1453
01:25:04,933 --> 01:25:07,470
to actually do
what we need them to do,
1454
01:25:07,503 --> 01:25:09,805
and then people will follow.
1455
01:25:09,838 --> 01:25:12,675
Except for
a few oil-company execs.
1456
01:25:12,708 --> 01:25:14,410
-good stuff.
-thank you, thank you.
1457
01:25:14,443 --> 01:25:16,645
Don't forget that song now,
you sing it anytime.
1458
01:25:18,381 --> 01:25:20,649
-can getting a room
full of defense contractors
1459
01:25:20,683 --> 01:25:26,455
to dance for energy revolution
actually change the world?
1460
01:25:28,291 --> 01:25:30,859
-probably not on its own.
1461
01:25:30,893 --> 01:25:34,563
But what we've realized
is to keep going,
1462
01:25:34,597 --> 01:25:38,167
we've gotta be part of something
bigger than ourselves.
1463
01:25:38,201 --> 01:25:41,904
And that's the only way
we're going to win this fight.
1464
01:25:59,722 --> 01:26:02,191
-well, the movie's about
what we can do
1465
01:26:02,225 --> 01:26:03,392
to help make sure that things
1466
01:26:03,426 --> 01:26:05,861
are okay in the future,
you know, for you.
1467
01:26:05,894 --> 01:26:07,830
There's a lot of people
who are just,
1468
01:26:07,863 --> 01:26:09,532
like, making a lot of money,
1469
01:26:09,565 --> 01:26:12,335
sometimes in ways that aren't
very good for the world.
1470
01:26:13,736 --> 01:26:16,405
It's just a stupid old piece
of paper.
1471
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:17,906
-that's a hard one.
1472
01:26:17,940 --> 01:26:19,475
But you know, there's also
1473
01:26:19,508 --> 01:26:21,944
a lot of people fighting back,
changing --
1474
01:26:21,977 --> 01:26:24,813
-like you do, 'cause
you're making movies to stop it!
1475
01:26:25,981 --> 01:26:29,818
it's only a little part
of stopping it, what we do.
1476
01:26:41,297 --> 01:26:43,866
-wait a second.
This movie can't end that way.
1477
01:26:44,933 --> 01:26:47,303
-it's not a movie
about walking into the distance,
1478
01:26:47,336 --> 01:26:48,203
holding hands.
1479
01:26:48,237 --> 01:26:50,005
-i don't see anything wrong
with that.
1480
01:26:50,038 --> 01:26:51,407
-no, it's like a cowboy movie
or something.
1481
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:52,107
-it's nice. it feels good.
1482
01:26:52,140 --> 01:26:53,509
-we want people to see this film
1483
01:26:53,542 --> 01:26:54,910
and go out
and do something themselves.
1484
01:26:54,943 --> 01:26:56,645
Like, maybe using our website.
1485
01:26:56,679 --> 01:26:58,314
-yeah, but you can't see people
1486
01:26:58,347 --> 01:27:00,716
participating through a website,
can you?
1487
01:27:00,749 --> 01:27:01,750
-no.
-not very good for a film.
1488
01:27:01,784 --> 01:27:03,919
-no. so here it is
at the end of a film though.
1489
01:27:03,952 --> 01:27:05,954
It's good for the credits.
1490
01:27:08,424 --> 01:27:09,692
-okay, take a look here.
1491
01:27:09,725 --> 01:27:10,726
This is a fake website,
1492
01:27:10,759 --> 01:27:13,996
and the victim of this hoax
is peabody energy.
1493
01:27:14,029 --> 01:27:15,264
The fake website says
1494
01:27:15,298 --> 01:27:18,967
the company would offer free
decorated inhalers to children.
1495
01:27:19,001 --> 01:27:22,605
It wants to make asthma cool by
making their inhalers look cool.
1496
01:27:24,307 --> 01:27:26,309
-get this,
a major american corporation,
1497
01:27:26,342 --> 01:27:28,010
out of the goodness
of its own heart,
1498
01:27:28,043 --> 01:27:29,678
donating billions of dollars.
1499
01:27:29,712 --> 01:27:33,882
-activists were behind this
to shine the spotlight on g.e.
1500
01:27:33,916 --> 01:27:35,984
For not paying any u.s. taxes.
1501
01:27:36,018 --> 01:27:37,185
-i pay my taxes,
why doesn't g.e.?
1502
01:27:37,219 --> 01:27:42,057
-if you are stopped and frisked
three times by the nypd
1503
01:27:42,090 --> 01:27:43,792
you get a free happy meal?
1504
01:27:43,826 --> 01:27:48,297
-fill out your name, ethnicity,
after three stops, you're in.
1505
01:27:48,331 --> 01:27:51,367
Exchange it
for a free happy meal.
1506
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,002
-oh, and one more thing.
1507
01:27:54,036 --> 01:27:55,804
Remember that lawsuit?
1508
01:27:55,838 --> 01:27:57,039
Well, after four years,
1509
01:27:57,072 --> 01:27:59,074
just as it was about
to head to trial,
1510
01:27:59,107 --> 01:28:01,744
the chamber decided to drop it.
1511
01:28:01,777 --> 01:28:03,312
-the chamber of commerce
1512
01:28:03,346 --> 01:28:05,047
is withdrawing their lawsuit
against us.
1513
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:07,683
If this lawsuit
had gone to trial,
1514
01:28:07,716 --> 01:28:11,420
we would have had the right
to do our own investigation.
1515
01:28:11,454 --> 01:28:14,623
-we would have been able to look
into the chamber's finances.
1516
01:28:14,657 --> 01:28:17,993
-and we would have been able
to learn how they manage to be
1517
01:28:18,026 --> 01:28:20,463
the most heavily funded
lobbying organization
1518
01:28:20,496 --> 01:28:24,600
in the world to support
corporate rule without limits.
1519
01:28:24,633 --> 01:28:27,035
-and we finally do have
business cards.
1520
01:28:27,069 --> 01:28:29,472
-yes, we finally have
some business cards.
1521
01:28:29,505 --> 01:28:33,376
Um, incidentally, the chamber
is offering a free lunch today.
1522
01:28:33,409 --> 01:28:35,411
They're having a conference
on how big business
1523
01:28:35,444 --> 01:28:37,846
can impact the measure
of government,
1524
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,949
and it's listed
on their website.
-ladies and gentlemen,
I don't know if any of you
1525
01:28:40,983 --> 01:28:42,985
...that you have a right
to a free lunch here
...are legitimate media,
1526
01:28:43,018 --> 01:28:45,354
if you just go and sign up.
Sorry.
1527
01:28:45,388 --> 01:28:49,057
Whatever he's told you,
at least as to lunches,
1528
01:28:49,091 --> 01:28:50,058
it's not true, so...
1529
01:28:50,092 --> 01:28:52,127
-it does say so on the website.
1530
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,430
Do you have a business card?
-i do indeed.
1531
01:28:54,463 --> 01:28:55,864
- i have a business card.
-i know.
1532
01:28:55,898 --> 01:28:56,999
-are you sure you work
for the chamber?
1533
01:28:57,032 --> 01:29:00,068
-okay, thank you very much.
1534
01:29:00,102 --> 01:29:03,606
* The sun gonna shine,
the sun gonna shine *
1535
01:29:03,639 --> 01:29:07,676
* The wind gonna blow,
the wind gonna blow *
