Deserter (Vsevolod Pudovkin, 1933)
Written and filmed in the midst of Hitler’s rise to power in Germany, Pudovkin’s first sound film concerns a German metal worker named Karl who becomes disheartened during the course of a strike at his factory. His wise labour leader sends him to Soviet Russia to strengthen his resolve. Karl returns to Hamburg and the film ends with him acting as banner-carrier when he and the rest of the strikers are involved in a clash with the police.
