Culture Jam: Hijacking Commercial Culture (2001)
A fascinating rap on the 20th Century movement called Culture Jamming. Pranksters and subversive artists are causing a bit of brand damage to corporate mindshare. Jammers, cultural commentators, a billboard advertiser and a constitutional lawyer take us on a wild roller coaster ride through the back streets of our mental environment. Stopping over in San Francisco, New York's Times Square, and Toronto, we catch the jamming in action with Batman-inspired Jack Napier of the Billboard Liberation Front, Disney arch-enemy Reverend Billy from the Church of Stop Shopping and Media Tigress Carly Stasko.

Reviews
Great documentary which may bring people's attention to the latest form of urban guerilla warfare. Imaginative in structure as the people it depicts, a cast of characters as varied and outre as a Pynchon Novel, filled with a passionate contempt for the profligate consumerism of the contemporary west. Worth checking out - just don't buy it on DVD from a megastore.
