to deprive of human qualities or attributes; divest of individuality.

Katniss, the tributes, poverty in dist.12.
Tributes have been forced into the hunger games without a choice the only choice they get is to kill or be killed but that isn't really a choice. District 12 is known for their coal mining, they are also the furthest away from the capitol which signifies how poor they are by circumstance.

setting : District 12
The people of district 12 are forced into living in poverty, the environment (including houses) is not adequate for human occupation, they dont even have toilets. They are forced to live like dogs basically.

scene : killing at start of hungergames, brutal killing was super unfair against lower district tributes because districts 1, 2 etc have trained tributes who actually know how to kill someone. Then again Cato revealed that he was forced to train to kill and now that's all he learnt to do. It robs people of their lives and is murder for the capitols entertainment.

Narrative: the hunger games film is focused on the rebellion against the dehumanisation that the districts are all facing. as the movie goes on the theme of dehumanisation is carried out in district 12, the arena and this theme is present from the begginnning to the end of the film. but it becomes less or more thought of as bad cause evryone wants to rebell.

The action or process of resisting authority, control, or convention.

Katniss, Peeta, Gayle, District 11, other protesters represent the theme of rebellion in the film: The Hunger Games 

They represent this theme by the actions they all take i.e Creating a riot (fighting the government) - District 11 after seeing what happens to Rue. Katniss showcases the theme of Rebellion numerous time throughout the film, one example being her giving Rue a respectful sendoff - In the game, you are supposed to kill other players, not really meant to care about others especially from another district. Another example of Katniss representing this theme is when she offers poisonous berries to Peeta at the end of the game after the authorities announce that there is to be only one victor. Katniss and Peeta get prepared to eat the deadly berries and leave no winner to the Capitol. Another example would be from the beginning of the film when both Katniss and Gale passed the district boundaries to hunt.
