Campus Galli is a specialized technical documentary that prioritizes historical authenticity over social discourse. The film's focus on medieval masonry and carpentry naturally centers on a specific type of physical labor. Because the project aims for historical accuracy in reconstruction, the cast is overwhelmingly homogeneous. This results in a presentation that aligns with traditional Western hierarchies of gender, race, and labor. The documentary functions as a restorative study of craftsmanship rather than a platform for contemporary social commentary or the deconstruction of historical norms.
