The Yes Men: The Legendary BBC Bhopal Hoax

[ 07:00 ]
Excerpt from The Yes Men fix the World. On the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal gas tragedy, December 2004, Dow spokesperson 'Jude Finiseterra' makes an unexpected announcement on the BBC. In this alternative reality where major corporations do the right thing, Dow Chemical (the present owner of Union Carbide, the company behind the spill), claimed full responsibility for the tragedy and announced a multibillion dollar compensation package. Dow stock prices lost over $2 billion in value in 20 minutes, before the hoax was revealed.

The Nuclear Game
The film tells the story of nuclear proliferation. It looks at how the test ban treaties did not stop countries like Israel and Pakistan and India getting the bomb. The film looks at how the Soviet Union saw its bomb as a virility symbol. The test of the largest bomb ever was timed to coincide with a Party Congress. The film examines the situation in the Soviet Union today and argues that nuclear materials are all too available there. The film draws on interviews with Nobel winner Josef Rotbalt, with Wendy Sherman who was President Clinton’s aide for dealing with North Korea, with Iraqi defector Khamir Hamza who says Saddam has hidden some of his nuclear programme in hospitals including one lunatic asylum and with William Timbers whose company buys uranium from the USSR. The programme also looks at how easy it is to build a dirty bomb. We reconstruct the steps needed to do that. The film is even more timely than it was when it was made given the many concerns re Iraq.
