About the film
The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, unites the most powerful leaders and thinkers on the planet. At its helm is Klaus Schwab, the 81-year-old founder of the WEF, who methodically toes the line between both sides of the political spectrum to ensure the most influential players continue to show up. Shot over two years—from 2018, when Donald Trump was the star attraction, to 2019, featuring this generation’s most influential climate change activist, Greta Thunberg—The Forum explores the rhetoric and motivations behind the WEF. Is positive change actually the goal, or does the organization exist simply to reaffirm the status quo? As the first filmmaker in 50 years to be granted access inside the WEF, Marcus Vetter delivers an astonishing look at the intense (and at times awkward) conversations between the individuals who hold the future of the planet in their hands.
