We consider the crucial role class and education play in creating an economically unjust society in the UK and explore the lenses through which we view each other.
Our six explainers, all experts in their field and from very different backgrounds discuss unequal opportunities, accent bias, the markers and stigma of poverty and the devastating effects of our current economic model.
Each also offers ideas aimed at galvanising people to act for economic justice.
The film forms part of a unique, rich resource created by Journey to Justice exploring the impact of economic injustice and how we can all challenge it:
