Earth (1930)

Directed by
Alexander Dovzhenko

Aleksandr Dovzhenko's classic film tells of a group of Ukrainian peasants who unite to purchase a tractor. Their leader is killed by the local kulak who fears any threat to his authority but the group's strength, like the earth they work, continues. Undeniably a film of its time in terms of the politics portrayed, it endures because of the director's stunning techniques and framing, years ahead of his contemporaries
