Salt of the Earth

Hey, for anyone wanting a classic movie, that is pretty damn relevant, and would never really be made today (or if it were, OH the whitewashing). I'm rewatching "Salt of the Earth" today. This film was banned during McCarthy era and made by 'blacklisted' director and such.

Unionizing
Actual Latino cast as the New Mexican miners
Feminist themes

Yeah.
