DESCRIPTION:The League of Pissed-Off Voters presents Ironweed Films  A New Monthly Film 
 Night @ Station 40  3030 B 16th St @ Mission (across from BART)  Last 
 Wednesday of every month, 9pm  FREE!  On March 29, come to the launch of a 
 new monthly film night.  On the  last Wednesday of every month, we'll watch 
 and discuss indie films  collected by Ironweed Film Club that deal with 
 progressive political  issues in powerful and entertaining documentaries, 
 animation and  shorts.  Ironweed Film Club is a new service that puts  
 together DVDs of socially-conscious films in order to inspire activist  
 actions and bring together progressive communities throughout the US  
 through monthly screenings.  This month's DVD includes "Salt of the Earth," 
 the only banned film in  American history, an animated short involving a 
 peanut singing the  free trade economics blues, and a short about a 
 multiracial family  dreaming of an identity other than 'other'.  We'll also 
 be drinking beer and eating popcorn.  See you on Wedensday the 29th!  "Salt 
 of the Earth"  This 1954 classic independent film, the only banned film in 
 American  history, is as famous for the events surrounding it as for its 
 radical  ideas. Salt of the Earth, based on real events surrounding a zinc  
 miners' strike in New Mexico, was filmed against opposition from the  
 government and the movie industry by a group of blacklisted  filmmakers, 
 including Herbert J. Biberman of the Hollywood Ten, Paul  Jarrico, and 
 Michael Wilson.  Working with limited resources in a hostile environment 
 (including the  deportation of their leading lady in the middle of 
 filming), these  filmmakers managed to create one of the most important 
 films in  American history, a compelling drama that focuses on themes that 
 went  unmentioned in 1950s popular culture: Latino civil rights, women's  
 issues, and labor relations. Salt of the Earth is a landmark film, one  of 
 100 American films chosen to be preserved by the Library of  Congress, a 
 film as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.\n
