Encyclopedic overview
Earth (Russian: «Земля», Ukrainian: «Земля», romanized: Zemlya) is a 1930 Soviet Ukrainian silent film by Alexander Dovzhenko. The film concerns the process of collectivization and the hostility of kulak landowners under the First Five-Year Plan. It is the third film, with Zvenigora and Arsenal, of Dovzhenko's "Ukraine Trilogy".
The script was inspired by Dovzhenko's life and experience of the process of collectivization in his native Ukraine. That process, which was the backdrop of the film and its production, informed its reception in the Soviet Union, which was largely negative.
