Pearl in the Crown is a regionalist study that emphasizes class and ethnic identity over individual social representation. It effectively dismantles imperial authority by highlighting the struggles of Silesian miners against shifting geopolitical powers. However, the film remains firmly rooted in traditional social hierarchies. The narrative is dominated by male-driven political action, relegating women to the background and excluding LGBTQ+ identities and disability.
