Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and aggressive; themes: mob violence, antisemitism, propaganda; style notes: close-up shots emphasize facial expressions; high-contrast black and white lighting; intertitles used for direct messaging

A man in a hat is shown in close-up with an intense expression, followed by a title card reading 'Kill the Jews!' and then shots of agitated men in a crowd. The sequence ends with a close-up of a man's face contorted in rage.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
