Regimes cracking down on youths peacefully protesting for rights taken for granted elsewhere, and eroded everywhere. Ad infinitum.

Dassin's Rehearsal is a definitive imprint of the Polytechnic Uprising's themes, familiar everywhere nowadays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4AJ_N3l7GA …

Shot in black & white and in English in NYC, and despite rough production values, Rehearsal's themes are still shockingly contemporary.

Rehearsal also indicts the US for supporting tyrannies, as it continues to do today. As happened in Egypt http://youtu.be/Q4AJ_N3l7GA?t=30m14s …
