A Sore Spot

By approaching the financial system and its contradictions, the film raises questions about one of the main discourses of the financial authorities: that we can not spend more than we collect. Through several interviews, it gives an overview of how capital can influence politics and governments.

Directed by Silvio Tendler, A Sore Spot leans on a strong ensemble — Costa-Gavras, Joao Pedro Stedile, Guilherme Boulos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2017.
