Sardine Fishing provides a historical baseline of traditional, homogeneous social representation. As an early 'actualité,' it captures raw human labor without the narrative subversion found in modern cinema. The film reflects the demographic realities of its specific time and place, adhering to the historical status quo without promoting harmful hierarchies. Ultimately, it lacks the narrative complexity needed for diverse representation, offering instead a snapshot of a specific maritime task.
