Protests expanded in a number of US states, denouncing police practices after the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a policeman in Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, where demonstrations included in addition to Minneapolis, New York, Atlanta, Portland, Washington, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Detroit.

These movements do not originate from a vacuum. Rather, they are to achieve a specific goal, which is often improving reality and achieving some kind of social justice or facing an offensive phenomenon to society. These goals have been the engine of people in the Arab region for a long time.

Film was filmed in more than one forum for demonstrations, rebellion and revolution, including what was human rights or revolutionary against occupation and injustice or in search of social and economic justice in capitalist societies, and below we review some of these films.

Modern times

The movie "Modern Times" is a sharp critique of the machine and its tyranny, and it represents a continuous revolutionary movement of workers from the film's release in 1936 until today against the societies controlled by capitalists.

The film revolves around the famous comedian Charlie Chaplin who works in a train factory, and his mission is to tighten the nuts in a moving tape that is faster than the worker Charlie and his colleagues.

While the factory owner monitors the workflow by cameras throughout the factory from his lavish office, he decides to work on a machine that feeds the workers during work to increase productivity and not waste time resting on food, and the film events continue until Charlie loses his job and is then imprisoned.

Children Of Men

The story revolves around a world that collapses in the future, when all human beings cease to bear children, and there is no hope for humanity to escape from annihilation other than the emergence of a girl who is able to bear children from among the chased irregular refugees.

The girl is searching for a safe haven that protects her until she puts her newborn away from the mad scientist who consists of angry men and women without any children at all, and the film did not address the reason that prevented having children, nor did it show the magic way that made this woman able to get pregnant, but he discusses the concept The future of the world that children hold on their shoulders, and without them there will be no future at all.

Through an attractive fictional show, the film introduces the idea that people have mostly overlooked and forgotten it, which is that "The Future of Peoples in Their Children", released in 2006, is starring Julianne Moore and Cliff Owen.

Samurai rebellion

The Japanese director Masaki Kobayashi profoundly gives a picture of 18th century Japanese society through the story of a samurai warrior and his daughter's husband who decide not to submit to injustice and stand up to the ruler after he kidnapped the wife.

The film represents a revolution against injustice and a demand for social justice and standing up to tyrants who do not show any respect for human emotions as described by the director in his film, a historical dramatic film produced in 1967, starring Toshiro Mikuni, Yoko Tsukasa and Joe Kato.

"V for Vendetta"

The movie takes place in Britain in 2038, after the English kingdom turned into a totalitarian state ruled by an extreme right-wing party, adapted from the novel by English writer Alan Moore.

The film derives from a real coup attempt against King James I by a group of rebels, the most important of them is Guy Fox, who appears as his main hero of the film, and revolves around the masked young man who blows up the British Parliament to save Britain from the control of extremist rulers.

The film is considered one of the most important films that predicted major revolutions and events in the world, so that Vendetta's mask was present as a symbol of the revolution in most of the revolutions that occurred after the presentation of the film.

A Twelve Years Night

The film tells a true story about a group of political prisoners in the mid-seventies of the last century who spent 12 years in solitary confinement in a Uruguayan prison that was ruled by a military regime at the time, and one of them managed to finally win the prison phase to become the president of Uruguay after the end of the military era.

The film, directed by Uruguayan Alvaro Brechner, was shown for the first time at the Venice International Film Festival, before it was crowned the Best Film award of the Cairo International Film Festival in 2018.
