Sansho the Bailiff (1954). Beautiful and tragic, this film is set in feudal Japan. The main issues here center on human rights, or lack thereof, as seen as the treatment of peasants as less than human and therefore validating their use as slaves. Sacrifice and perseverence are also huge elements of this incredible flick. The cinematogaraphy was sublime. Ashe.
