Synopsis: All societies are based on the idea of a social contract. We are told that if we work hard, if we treat others with respect, if we play by the rules, we will be rewarded. But then there’s the rule breakers. Those who float across tax havens and make profits without paying back to society.  

BREAKING SOCIAL looks at global patterns of kleptocracy and extractivism. An assassinated investigative journalist in Malta. A river without water in Chile. It looks at the Social Breaking, the turning points that make people want to organize, protest and rewrite their rule of law.

It’s a story told by those already fighting at the frontlines, weaving threads between social uprisings across the world. A story about reimagining the building blocks of our societies and igniting seeds of hope that live within each of us.

BREAKING SOCIAL explores the possibilities of overcoming injustice and corruption. A film about marginalized voices that refuse to be sidelined.
