Directed by Justin Pemberton, CAPITAL IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY explores one of the most important, controversial and timely subjects of our time: economic inequality. Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty, the captivating documentary is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power, shattering with the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, and shining a new light on today’s growing inequalities. Traveling through time, the film assembles accessible pop-culture references coupled with interviews of some of the world’s most influential experts delivering an insightful, entertaining, and empowering journey through the past and into our future. — Film Forum
