Amit Srivastava, Director of the India Resource Centre and Head of the International Campaign against Coca Cola, talking to audience members.

The Yes Men enthused the conference audience in the final session with their hilarious exploits as Activist Tricksters - spoofing the World Trade Organisation with their outrageous impersonations, which even fooled former WDM Director, Barry Coates, who completed a full TV Q&A session with them without realising they were imposters!

WDM featured in the clips of their film, which had the audience in stitches at their antics - not however the WDMers who appeared to be sleeping throughout the session, but had in fact been planted by the Yes Men - causing some puzzlement in the audience as the big screens kept on focussing on them!
