Based on the wildly popular No. 1 New York Times bestseller by Thomas Piketty of the same name, CAPITAL IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY guides audiences through the fascinating and controversial history of global wealth disparity across the decades. This ambitious documentary takes insightful interviews with some of the world’s leading economics experts and fuses them with vibrant images ripped from pop culture history to create a dazzling and eye-opening portrait of how money makes the world move. More timely now than ever, the film traces the internal structures that perpetuate the extreme concentration of wealth among the 1%, offering a highly critical eye toward these broken systems, while thankfully suggesting key ideas toward potentially revolutionary taxation policies that could change everything. Exhaustively researched, this expansive and vital can’t-miss film illuminates the shocking truths of these urgent financial inequalities in a manner that is widely accessible, thoroughly engaging, and visually sublime. (In English and French with subtitles) — R.J.T.
