Happy Labor Day, everyone.
Salt of the Earth told the story of Mexican-American mine workers standing up to a big corporation demanding fair treatment. The movie was sponsored by the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers. Director Herbert Biberman was blacklisted in Hollywood. Most of the actors were not professionals. During the McCarthy Era, the film was widely attacked, but it never went away.
