The Salt of the Earth

🎥 On Thursday, November 13th join us at the Robeson Cinema for a special screening of The Salt of the Earth 💲Free, Sliding Scale Donation Ticket [$8 recommendedl, link in bio!] US | 1954 | HERBERT J, BIBERMAN | 94 MI 94 MIN 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 (Juan Chacon) helps organize the strike, but he is shown to be a hypocrite by treating his pregnant wife, Esperanza (Rosaura Revueltas), 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. 🗓️ 🕕 Thursday, Nov 13th • 6:00 PM 📍 Paul & Eslanda Robeson Cinema at The People’s Forum
