CAPITAL IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
Directed by Justin Pemberton
(2020, New Zealand, 103 minutes, English and French with English subtitles)
“Piketty has transformed our economic discourse; we’ll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way.” — Paul Krugman in The New York Review of Books
Now playing: the eye-opening film based on the best-selling book.
Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty (which sold over three million copies worldwide and landed Piketty on Time‘s list of most influential people), this captivating documentary 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.
This week’s “screening” will support HamptonsFilm, Guild Hall, and the distributor (Kino Lorber). Follow us @HamptonsFilm on social media for future releases.
