This documentary investigates why prosperity so often widens the gap between rich and poor rather than closing it. Following individuals in South Africa and the United Kingdom, it contrasts those who champion capitalism with others simply struggling to cover basic needs. Through personal stories, it asks how modern economies distribute wealth and why so many people fall behind. The result is a thoughtful, human-scale look at inequality that goes beyond statistics. It rewards anyone trying to understand the forces shaping everyday life. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
