About this Event
"The invisible walls between rich and poor, told through intimate stories that expose how class shapes our lives, our choices, and our humanity."
What does it mean to live on opposite sides of society's divide? We explore three masterful films that examine social inequality not as abstract theory, but through deeply human stories that reveal the complex dynamics between those who have and those who serve. Each film chosen for this event offers a different cultural lens on class division, yet all share a common truth: the distance between social classes is both physical and profound, shaping every interaction, every opportunity, and every life.
