Details.
Wiki.
The Divide is a 2015 documentary film directed by British filmmaker Katharine Round. It was produced by Katharine Round and Christopher Hird. It is an adaptation of the acclaimed 2009 socio-economic book The Spirit Level by Richard G. Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. The book argues that there are "pernicious effects that inequality has on societies: eroding trust, increasing anxiety and illness, (and) encouraging excessive consumption".
Originally titled The Spirit Level, The film ran a successful crowdfunding campaign through IndieGoGo, raising £70,000, £20,000 more than expected. The film was completed in 2015 and previewed that same year. It was released theatrically in the UK in April 2016. A US release is set to follow later in 2016. It was launched on Netflix on October 3, 2016 with streaming capabilities for US and UK territories only.
The film has appeared at several major film festivals including: Sheffield Doc/Fest (June 2015), Open City Film Festival in London(June 2015) where it was nominated for Best UK Film, Cork Film Festival (November 2015), and ZagrebDox Film Festival (February 2016).
