DANES FOR BUSH (video, 75 minutes) Two weird looking young Danish men in
red suits travel through the USA on a mission to campaign for the
re-election of President George W. Bush in 2004...and they are actually
undercover artists. Enjoy a film which has been criticized for the
journalistic ethic, praised for breaking new ground and misunderstood by
right wing radicals in Denmark and Sweden all at the same time. Guest
appearances by THE YESMEN and G. Gordon Liddy. Directed by Jakob S.
Boeskov and Mads Brügger.
