Event Description

Set in New Mexico’s Empire Zinc mine, Salt of the Earth tells the story of Mexican-American workers who strike to protest hazardous working conditions and unequal pay compared to their Anglo coworkers. When a court injunction bars the men from picketing, the women boldly take their place on the front lines—challenging both the mining company and the entrenched gender norms within their own community.
