I could watch this movie over and over and find new things to think about and notice. It is VERY thought provoking and still relevant!

Unable to make films in Hollywood they looked for worthy social issues to put on screen independently.  This film never would have been made in Hollywood at the time, so it is ironic that it was the anti-communist backlash that brought about the conditions for it to be made.  In many ways it was a film ahead of its time, mainstream culture did not pick up on its civil rights and feminist themes for at least a decade.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.archive.org/details/salt_of_the_earth">Tells the tale of a real life strike by Mexican-American miners.
