Yes Men ‘do’ the World Economic Forum

The film-making team behind The End of Poverty? have partnered with the Yes Men (global justice pranksters) to create a parallel, imaginary World Economic Forum in which world leaders came up with real solutions to poverty, instead of just pandering to their own wealthy economies.

The leaders seemed, in a series of videos, to be supporting a set of initiatives based on 10 Solutions to End Poverty, a petition for which the film-makers are trying to get ten million signatures by the end of 2010.
