PENAL SERVITUDE (1928):

Soviet production about life in a Siberian gulag and the revolt against the camp's new, repressive warden. Anyone familiar with the Soviet gulag system will recognize the use of common criminals to keep the "passive" politicals in line (adopted in Nazi concentration camps later on). In the end, the liberation of the politicals by the victorious Bolshevik takeover of the country is trumpeted.
