DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films like 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Sorry We Missed You' powerfully critique systems that criminalize poverty and marginalize the vulnerable.

 Michael Haneke Austria

Films such as 'The Seventh Continent' and 'Funny Games' unflinchingly explore societal violence, institutional cruelty, and the breakdown of justice systems.
