Capital in the Twenty-First Century

Directed by
Year: 2020
Country: New Zealand
Language: English and French with English subtitles

Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty (which sold over three million copies worldwide and landed Piketty on Time's list of most influential people), this captivating documentary is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power, a film that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, and shines a new light on today’s growing inequalities. Traveling through time, the film assembles accessible pop-culture references coupled with interviews of some of the world’s most influential experts delivering an insightful and empowering journey through the past and into our future.

"It's a massive achievement, turning this weighty volume into enthralling cinema."


"Engaging... [Piketty] is not only a brilliant economist but also one with a gift for making complicated ideas accessible."


“A financial detective story that exposes our current crisis. Provokes a consistent sense of 'Whoa!'"


“A brilliantly assembled, blood-boiling examination of the past 100 years in economics.”


“Lively, informative… lays out the economist’s arguments with lucidity and persuasiveness, using a slew of pop-culture references."


"A spry, erudite, and consistently watchable documentary that articulates how we got here, and why things are only going to get worse if we don’t right the balance between economic growth and consolidated wealth."


“Bold, incisive, riveting… one of the best documentaries in recent years.”


"An easily digestible cinematic companion to such a crucial and potentially prophetic book."


"Piketty has transformed our economic discourse; we’ll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way we used to."

Kino Marquee is a new initiative that creates "virtual cinemas" for temporarily closed independent theaters. It lets audiences see at home newly released films that these theaters would otherwise be playing on the big screen, and which are not yet available on other digital platforms. 

Join us in supporting your community's theater in these uncertain times by buying a virtual “ticket” to watch award-winning international films, acclaimed documentaries, and restored classics on Kino Marquee. You’ll be directly supporting your local art house as all revenue is being shared between distributor and exhibitor just as if you bought your ticket at the theater's box office.

To get your ticket, click the Screen button above. You’ll have to register for an account if you don’t already have one. After you’ve entered your payment information, your rental period will start immediately and last for five days. You can watch the film as many times as you want in those five days.

You can watch on your computer, phone, or most tablets. You can also download the Kino Now app for Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV (tvOS 9.0 or later). See below for more detailed information about app-based viewing options. All viewing methods require high bandwidth internet connection.

You must first purchase the film from your theater’s virtual cinema page on Desktop or Mobile. After doing that, please follow these steps to install the Kino Now app on your Apple TV (requires tvOS 9.0 or later).

Important: You will need to log in using the same email address and password you just created.
