Editor's Take

The Divide follows several people across the US and UK to ask why prosperous societies leave so many of their citizens unhappy and insecure. A humane, data-aware look at inequality that connects economic statistics to lived experience.

This ENDEVR documentary, The Divide, asks why citizens of wealthy nations so often feel miserable even as their economies grow. It follows seven individuals in the modern United States and United Kingdom striving for better lives amid staggering inequality, where a tiny elite owns as much as everyone else combined. Thoughtful and human, it turns economic data into lived experience. It is a searching look at wealth, happiness, and the gap between them. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
