What Made Her Do It? 何が彼女をそうさせたか 1930 Japanese Movie.

The plot centers on Sumiko, who has been sent to live with her uncle. Arriving to a harried household with many children, her aunt and alcoholic uncle are annoyed by her arrival. A note, which Sumiko cannot read, announces that her father has killed himself.
After being denied schooling and placed into labor for the family, Sumiko is eventually sold to a circus where she suffers at the hands of its members and ringmaster. Sumiko escapes with another circus performer, Shintaro, but Sumiko joins a team of thieves and ends up arrested. She is given work in the home of a wealthy aristocratic family, who denies even the simplest of pleasures to their staff out of cruelty.
She is sent to a Christian orphanage, where she is humiliated for writing a letter to an old friend, and must make a public speech renouncing her ways and accepting Christ into her heart.
Given the opportunity, Sumiko instead denounces the church, and ends up burning it down.

Directed by Shigeyoshi Suzuki.

The film, thought to be lost after World War II, was restored in 1997 from an incomplete print found in the Russian Gosfilmofond archive in 1994. The restoration, under supervision of Yoneo Ōta, replaced missing scenes at start and finish of the film with title cards.
