Justin Pemberton’s documentary emphasizes a systemic critique of macroeconomics over individual identity politics. Using historical archival footage and data, the film deconstructs wealth concentration rather than focusing on personal narratives. The documentary successfully presents a global view of economic history, moving beyond a purely Western perspective to explore how capital affects various continents. This provides the film with substantial cultural and systemic depth. However, the film lacks depth in addressing LGBTQ+ identities, specific gender hierarchies, or disability issues, as its scope is confined to the mechanics of capital and class.
Category Breakdown

The film avoids traditional gender roles and dynamics. It focuses on how capital affects various demographics without emphasizing feminist critiques of labor.
By tracing economic trends across different continents, the film offers a global perspective. This approach highlights the systemic impact of economic policies on a post-colonial scale, challenging Eurocentric views.
The narrative provides a strong critique of Western capitalist institutions. It portrays current economic systems as inherently oppressive to the working class through a progressive ideological lens.
The film does not depict any specific instances of physical or neurological disabilities. Its subject matter is limited to macroeconomic data and historical trends.
