Unmarketable (The New Press, 2007) is a powerful critique of corporate marketing's appropriations of and alliances with the cultural underground. Author Anne Elizabeth Moore interviews the perpetrators, victims, and not-so-innocent bystanders of phenomena both hilarious and troubling to examine the underground's changing relationship to the commercialized world and its impact on activism and integrity.

Presentation begins with short documentary on the Unlympics, a recent series of creative sporting events held in resistance to Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid, backed by infamous PR firm Hill & Knowlton.
