AFS ‘On Our Screen’ Presents: “Salt Of The Earth” [1954 / Herbert J Biberman / 94 minutes] – 06/18

The Aurora Film Society brings “Salt Of The Earch” to the screen at The Venue (21 S. Broadway) on June 18th at 7pm.

At New Mexico’s Empire Zinc mine, Mexican-American workers protest the unsafe work conditions and unequal wages compared to their Anglo counterparts. Ramon Quintero helps organize the strike, but he is shown to be a hypocrite by treating his pregnant wife, Esperanza, with a similar unfairness. When an injunction stops the men from protesting, however, the gender roles are reversed, and women find themselves on the picket lines while the men stay at home.
