History is usually (and cynically) seen to be the story of the winners.
The Documentary, Poor Us, tells the history of the so-called "losers."
The poor in our modern era, are unfairly, and contra-historically, considered to be the "losers". But as this film shows, the "poor" aren't losers but a by product of historical processes.
The world, as we learn has got poorer, beginning with the proto-industrial and the industrial eras. The wise voice of Karl Marx says that the poverty we witness in the world wouldn't have happened without capitalist system of production.
