✌️ MediaFx Opinion
From the people’s perspective, this project smells of revolution and real histories being told with dignity. A working-class hero rising from obscurity, joining forces with people-facing storytellers, challenging oppressive structures—this aligns with real voices. We hope Story of a Rebel uplifts unsung stories, gives space to resistance and equality vibes, and not just glamifies power. Cinema must serve the masses, not the elites—and we see that spark here.
