Salt of the Earth (1954) Biography, History | Juan Chacón, Rosaura Revueltas, Will Geer | Full Movie

The Only Blacklisted American Film Banned! Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers, who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses. Colorized version Director: Herbert J. Biberman Writer: Michael Wilson This film was made by blacklisted film-makers in retaliation for being blacklisted. They reasoned that since they weren’t allowed to work in Hollywood, they might as well make a film as pro-Communist as possible to fit the “crime“ for which they had been accused by the Un-American House Activities Committee.
