DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Charlie Chaplin United Kingdom

His masterpiece 'Modern Times' is the definitive cinematic critique of industrial alienation, depicting a worker dehumanized by assembly line mechanization.

 Pier Paolo Pasolini Italy

His films like 'Accattone' and 'Mamma Roma' explore how industrial capitalism alienates the working class and marginalizes those outside its system.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films such as 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Kes' persistently examine how industrial and bureaucratic systems alienate and exploit ordinary workers.
