The film investigates why poverty persists despite global wealth, arguing that its roots lie in systematic exploitation that began with colonialism and has evolved into today’s economic order. It highlights land grabs, resource extraction, debt, free‑market policies, corporate profit motives and a system where 25 % of the population controls 85 % of wealth. Voices include Nobel laureates Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz, activist Susan George, Eric Toussaint, Bolivian Vice President Álvaro García Linera and others.
