The Fight For Peace prioritizes geopolitical urgency over social representation. Its structure is dictated by the political maneuvers of leaders like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, which naturally limits the scope of its subjects. Because the film documents the rise of totalitarianism in Europe, it adheres to the era's traditional hierarchies. The focus remains on state power and masculine political aggression, leaving little room for diverse identities. Ultimately, the documentary reflects the narrow, Eurocentric, and male-dominated perspectives common to 1939 documentary conventions.
