DESCRIPTION:ANSWER Film Series “Salt of the Earth”  Salt of the Earth is a powerful 
 and emotionally charged film based on a 1950 strike by zinc miners in 
 Silver City, New Mexico. Against a backdrop of social injustice, a riveting 
 family drama is played out by the characters of Ramon and Esperanza 
 Quintero, a Mexican-American miner and his wife. In the course of the 
 strike, Ramon and Esperanza find their roles reversed: an injunction 
 against the male strikers moves the women to take over the picket line, 
 leaving the men to domestic duties. The women evolve from men's 
 subordinates into their allies and equals. Made during the height of the 
 McCarthy era, members of the original "Hollywood Ten" united to create this 
 impressively controversial labor film despite severe pressure from the U.S. 
 government. These filmmakers were blacklisted and later imprisoned for 
 refusing to answer Congressional inquiries on First Amendment grounds.
