As an early actualité film, *The Derby* serves as a historical document rather than a scripted narrative. Without character arcs or dialogue, it lacks the intentionality needed to address progressive themes or diverse identities. The film captures the Epsom Racecourse during a period of strict traditionalism, reflecting the social structures of the late 19th century. It provides a static reflection of its time without challenging the social stratification or demographic homogeneity of the era.
