The Mark of Zorro, 1920 (Found of Kanopy video library app)
Oppression -by its very nature-creates the power that crushes it. A champion arises—a champion of the oppressed-whether it be a Cromwell or someone unrecorded, he will be there. He is born.
"No force that tyranny could bring would dare oppose us-once united. Our country's out of joint. It is for us caballeros, and us alone, to set it right!"
"Justice for all!"
