Salt of the Earth
Salt of the Earth (1954): Based on a real 1951 strike, this powerful drama portrays the struggles of Mexican-American zinc miners in New Mexico fighting for fair wages and working conditions, and is especially known for its focus on the significant role the miners' wives played in the struggle. Due to the political views of its blacklisted creators, the film faced significant challenges in production and distribution but remains a landmark of independent American cinema.
