Salt of the Earth is a groundbreaking 1954 film that explores the struggles of Mexican-American miners in New Mexico who demand equal wages and improved working conditions. The film is notable for its focus on the role of women in labor movements and its realistic portrayal of social issues. Despite being blacklisted in Hollywood due to its progressive themes and the involvement of blacklisted artists, it remains a powerful testament to the fight for workers' rights and equality.
