Debtocracy is a thorough critique of global neoliberalism. It effectively disrupts Western-centric economic narratives by emphasizing the ability to act of the Global South and framing debt as a tool of imperialism. The film’s strength lies in its post-colonial perspective. By examining the struggles of underrepresented economies in Latin America and Africa, it challenges the perceived morality of the global economic order. However, the documentary lacks representation in interpersonal categories. It does not address LGBTQ+ identities or provide specific gender-based character arcs, focusing instead on macroeconomic theory.
