When the men are forced to end their picketing, Esperanza joins the other women who demand to play a role in the strike, against their husband's wishes. Written, directed, and produced by members of the original blacklisted 'Hollywood Ten' Salt of the Earth is a powerful, persuasive drama that educates and inspires."--Container.
