Salt of the Earth (1954)

At New Mexico's Empire Zinc mine, Mexican-American workers protest the unsafe work conditions and unequal wages compared to their Anglo counterparts. Ramon Quintero helps organize the strike, but he is shown to be a hypocrite by treating his pregnant wife, Esperanza, with a similar unfairness. When an injunction stops the men from protesting, however, the gender roles are reversed, and women find themselves on the picket lines while the men stay at home.

"Salt of the Earth" is an impassioned account of a Mexican zinc miners union striking for equality with Anglo miners in 1950s New Mexico. United, they stand against the powers that be, even when they're starved, beaten, and thrown in jail on phony charges. The film's political motivations are pretty easy to pick up on, especially considering that its director, writer, producer, and composer had all been blacklisted as suspected communists. Skeptics may find it convenient to write the film off as a piece of leftist propaganda (which it certainly is), but that would be undervaluing the power of the film. It makes a strong case for the strength of the community, but perhaps a more striking theme than its obvious communist subtext is the highly feminist attitude it conveys; When the men are threatened with arrest if they continue to strike, the women take up the picket line, forcing a complete role reversal between the sexes, an idea that was well ahead of its time in 1954.

Significant themes, entertaining plot, endearing characters, this film just worked, especially with the struggle it was to get it made. Definitely worth seeing.

One of the most revolutionary films you will ever see. Many of the films actors/actresses were blacklisted after the film's release. And many of the people in the film were the ORIGINAL actors in the actual struggle of the miner's in this new mexico town. Incredible. One of my top fav movies of all time!
