DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

His films like Schindler's List and War Horse unflinchingly depict how ordinary people become caught in historical violence and conflict.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His social realist work consistently portrays how economic systems and bureaucracy leave working-class civilians defenseless and exploited.
