This international best-selling book, written in the middle of WWII by a German Jewish woman, revealed to the world what was happening in Nazi Germany. It tells the story of a militant communist who with six others escapes from a concentration camp in Germany. The story shows the reader the many layers and sides of Fascist Germany through the eyes of this single man. For the first time, many readers got to see what fascism really was, how the working class was turned on itself, and the horror of the vise it tortured the population with. You see the working class never giving up, and tentatively pushing back at great risk and sacrifice, with hope for a better tomorrow.
Homebound is a 2025 award-winning Indian drama directed by Neeraj Ghaywan with Martin Scorsese as Executive Producer. It tells the story of two young men from a high poverty rural village. Together they look for ways to escape the poverty, to win respect, and to help support their aging parents. They are up against the bigotry of caste, class, and religion, and the lack of opportunities in rural areas. They try for government jobs as constables. Every step of the process is full of obstacles, and even when one of them passes the exam, the wait list is years long and is stymied by bureaucracy and privilege.
Other choices are equally perilous and cruel: long hours in a factory, prejudice in an office job, work as a migrant in the big city, or expensive university classes. And then COVID hits.
The movie is a tender and beautiful telling of friendship, hope and love of family in the face of a heartless and cruel system. And it questions, why does it have to be this way?
