Social realism in film

Social realism in film is a style that focuses on depicting everyday life and social issues truthfully and authentically. It aims to highlight the real struggles, conditions, and experiences of ordinary people, often addressing topics like poverty, injustice, or inequality. These films use naturalistic storytelling, often with minimal stylization, to create an honest portrayal of society. The goal is to foster awareness and provoke reflection on social problems, encouraging viewers to understand and possibly engage with real-world issues through a genuine and unglamorous lens.
