Maybe in the US, but not in the 3rd world. If you're born in a favela in Rio or a slum of Mumbay, chances are you won't make it to the (non-existent) middle class. The shows posits what would happen if the US middle class disappeared and we became a third world country like Brazil or India.

What studio? It's an independent movie.
