DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sergei Eisenstein Soviet Union

Pioneer of revolutionary cinema whose films like *Battleship Potemkin* and *October* directly depict and aestheticize the Russian Revolution through radical montage techniques.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

Consistently explores working-class struggle and social rebellion through naturalistic storytelling, from *Kes* to *I, Daniel Blake*, challenging systemic injustice.
