Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on the struggle for labor rights and the formation of a powerful union, aligning with progressive values of anti-exploitation and collective action. However, it critically examines the moral compromises and corruption that infiltrate the movement, leading to a nuanced, left-leaning perspective.
The movie features a predominantly white and mainstream cast, consistent with the historical period and subject matter of the labor movement. Its narrative centers on the struggles of a white male protagonist and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or prioritize DEI themes.
Secondary

The film "F.I.S.T." does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on labor union activities and political struggles, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The film is a historical drama centered on union activities and organized crime. Female characters primarily serve in supportive or romantic roles and are not depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
