To Die Laughing

Four parallel stories on humor as a way for political action. The famous “Yesmen" play the first big prank in the European Parliament. Martin Schoneborn, a comedian and MEP, proposes an unconventional plan to rescue Greece. The “Flashmob” interrupt conferences with a smile on their lips. And 12 people really die laughing. At his last interview before his murder, in January 2015, the editor-in-chief of Charlie Hebdo, predicts that only Islamic violence can kill humor. A tragedy among three comedies.
