By your powers combined, I am Captain Communism!
Salt of the Earth has the distinction of being the only film blacklisted by the United States government. It is the story of Ramon Quintero (Juan Chacon) and his wife Esperanza (Rosaura Revueltas), who live in a small mining town in New Mexico in the 1950s. They endure poor working conditions, have no hot water, and the wages between Mexican-Americans and caucasians are grossly different. Ramon and his co-workers go on strike, and the film follows the progression of the family and community as the strike takes its toll.
