A (very) quick roundup of the kind of stuff we do at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. Truly independent films, world class speakers and authors, live music from around the world, media-making workshops, potluck deliciousness and generally good times with the best people you'll meet in the Capital Region of Troy NY!

This video was shot by countless Sanctuary volunteers, edited by Penny Lane, and animated by Andrew Lynn.

The Yes Men agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle out the stories of their hijinks to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. In other words, the Yes Men are team players... but they play for the opposing team.
