A symphony of resistance.

All societies are based on the idea of a social contract. We are told that if we work hard, if we treat others with respect, if we play by the rules, we will be rewarded.

But then there are the rule breakers. Those who use power and corruption to play the system, who make use of tax havens, or who reap profits without paying back to society.

Whilst social inequality grows, so does the reaction to this abuse of our systems. Communities around the world are moving beyond cynicism and despair to organise and protest at the frontlines of social uprising.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Fredrik Gertten (Push, Bikes Vs. Cars, Big Boys Gone Bananas!*) returns with Breaking Social, an analysis of patterns of kleptocracy and extractivism around the world. The film follows some of these global stories, and through the people fighting these inequalities we see the possibilities of overcoming injustice – reimagining the building blocks of our societies and finding hope along the way.

Both confronting and hopeful, this is a documentary for anyone questioning how to make the world a fairer place for everyone.

Featured contributors include Amazon union organiser Chris Smalls, indigenous politician Valentina Miranda, founder of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation Matthew Caruana Galizia, and global economic correspondent at the New York Times Peter S. Goodman.
