The Burial at Thebes
The first is an awesome trailer done by a playgroup and the second is a humorous adaptation of Antigone.
I identified with Antigone in this because I felt like no matter what, family is family. It would be a different story if it was her that a heinous act was done on. But he is her blood. I feel the same way about my brother. If someone were to leave my brother's body out to be eaten by every kind of disgusting creature, I'd be a little pissed. Creon is ridiculously tyrannical in this and his tyranny proves to be false. Antigone defied the laws of man to obey the laws of the Gods. If anyone claims to be devoutly religious in any way, they would do the exact same thing. But it goes beyond religion, as I have already said, because he was her brother! Blood is thicker than water.
In the end, Creon pays for his wrongdoings and loses everything that was ever dear to him. Also, he has lost all respect of the people. I was glad. Maybe it is wicked of me but it made me lighthearted to see Creon fall to such lows. He deserved it, every single bit.
