Available Friday, May 8 via Virtual Screening Room
Based on the international bestseller by famed economist Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power — a film that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, and shines 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 and empowering journey through the past and into our future.
