DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films such as 'I, Daniel Blake' and 'Kes' consistently examine how working-class individuals face systemic rejection and institutional indifference.

 Chloé Zhao China/United States

Her films like 'The Eternals' and especially 'Nomadland' and 'The Rider' document people rejected by traditional society and economic systems, finding dignity in displacement and failure.
