DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

Through works like 'Accattone' and 'Salò', Pasolini unflinchingly exposed the systemic exploitation of the marginalized and the dehumanizing power of authoritarian systems.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films like 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Kes' reveal how institutional systems and economic structures systematically exploit the working class and vulnerable populations.
