The drama film Salt of the Earth (1954) is a classic movie about the efforts to organize labor in the mining industry of the South West and the struggles against racism and for gender-equality connected with it. The script was written by Michael Wilson, and the film was directed by Herbert J. Biberman and produced by Paul Jarrico. All three were blacklisted by the Hollywood establishment due to their involvement in communist politics. The female lead, Rosaura Revueltas, a Mexican actress, was deported during shooting, and some of her scenes had to be secretly filmed in Mexico.
