Dziga Vertov’s newsreel aims to reshape society by emphasizing the importance of the collective over individual stories. It challenges traditional gender roles by showing women actively involved in labor. However, it does not depict LGBTQ+ identities or characters with disabilities. Instead, it focuses on a unified working class that transcends ethnic backgrounds. The film also strongly criticizes Western capitalism through its secular, collective-focused narrative. Ultimately, while the film excels in promoting a multi-ethnic working class and challenging traditional gender roles, it lacks representation of LGBTQ+ identities and characters with disabilities.
