As an archival newsreel from 1898, this work is observational rather than character-driven. It captures the aftermath of the USS Maine explosion in Havana Harbor, focusing on the physical wreckage and surrounding vessels. Because the film is a historical document rather than a scripted narrative, it lacks the structure needed to explore identity, ability to act, or social hierarchies. Its purpose is to document a geopolitical moment, making traditional diversity metrics largely inapplicable to its non-narrative structure.
