This study aims to reveal the forms of social criticism against oligarchic practices represented in the documentary film *Pesta Oligarki* by Watchdoc Documentary. Oligarchy is understood as a system of power dominated by a small group of political and economic elites, often marginalizing public interests. In this context, Gramsci's theory of hegemony explains how elite domination is constructed through consensus and discourse control, while Winters' theory of oligarchy highlights the mechanisms of power that perpetuate inequality. As a medium of visual discourse, documentary film plays a strategic role in voicing social criticism and shaping collective awareness of structural inequalities within the democratic system. The approach used in this research is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on Norman Fairclough's model, which consists of three dimensions of analysis: textual description, discourse practice analysis, and social practice analysis. Data were collected through observations of verbal and visual elements in the film, such as narration, interview quotes, and visual montages related to the theme of oligarchy. The findings indicate that *Pesta Oligarki* contains sharp criticism of elite domination in Indonesia's electoral democracy and voices a discourse of resistance against elite hegemony, making it a symbolic medium of resistance that encourages critical awareness among the public.
