Thank you for sharing this movie. It doesn’t matter what ethnic background you come from, I know very well, all too well, about this type of treatment for miners. I lived through it. My father was a miner, but not in New Mexico, he was an immigrant from Europe. He worked in the mining industry in a corrupt mining town..(I won’t mention the name, because of repercussions from local governments). My father joined a union for equality and safety for miners, the company was cutting corners for profit, and miners were paid very low wages. Many miners died during that time, not only in the mines, but elsewhere in town, due to safety issues that weren’t addressed; families barely had enough food to survive on, and lived in makeshift shanty shelters, being quickly put together and which were never warm enough for below freezing weather. In its earlier years, before any union was formed, men were harassed or killed if they didn’t do what the company wanted done or objected to their demands. The mines themselves were unsafe to work in. One man, and I assume there were others, was hanged from a trestle for even trying to start a union. The miners rallied around him for better wages, safety concerns and better living conditions for their families. Many miners were killed and harassed because they refused to work the mines during any strikes and a miners union hall was dynamited and blew up killing many more miners. Women had to fend for themselves and for their children in order to survive the hardships of the conditions left behind after their husbands died either from the mines or from someone killing their husbands. Women were NOT allowed to work any job which a man was capable of working. It was taboo. My father later joined the miners union, and the miners finally received the benefits they were looking for and better safety conditions in the mines. When my father retired from mining, he had 30 years into it, but that wasn’t enough insult to his lifetime working with that company. They had taken 20 years away from his record because of an accident he had when he broke his leg and needing the recovery time to heal from the injuries. When he went back to work, they considered him as a new man and gave him only 10 years with the company. My father never worked for anyone else and he had to hire a lawyer to get his years back. He did get his years back from working for that company, but also he didn’t live long enough to enjoy his full retirement, and died soon after retiring with Miners Con, a condition much like Black Lung which coal miners get from working in the coal mines. His lungs were filled with silica mine dust. In all his time working in those mines, he worked hard, working shifts others refused to work and he saved others from being killed or buried under the rubble from the collapsing mine shafts. He was a good man, teaching me much about the safety and the responsibilities for doing a job well done. My mother fought for her right to vote. I do miss him, and my mom very much. They taught me to be respectful, always showing and giving the dignity and respect towards others that they deserve. RIP …mom and dad, what you taught me, so much, made a difference in my life and this has stayed with me throughout the years. 👍❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@CCCVoice1]

Every American today should see this movie! It is brilliant! Not just about a miner's strike, but about people learning what unity is, and especially who the enemy is. It's not a white person or a brown person, an immigrant or a citizen, a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew, a man or a woman. And that is what the enemy does not want us to realize. Because once "the salt of the earth" unites, nothing can stop us from rising and winning. If only every person in the world could understand that, it would not be possible for a handful of people to grab everything, wield fear and force over workers and families, and leave most of the world with nothing. Also - as a work of art, this film is amazing. The "non-professional" cast was as good as the 'professional actors. A real credit to the director, Herbert Biberman, and his crew. "No, you can't fool me, I'm stickin' with the Union. We shall not be moved!"

We don't need the type of today's women, who are bashing men any time they get the chance, saying "they don't need men". Sorry to bust your bubble, those women of generation of yesterday, show their men, compassion, and made them understand they were needed. But nooooo, you had to destroy the very essence of what a woman should do, and that is to back up her man. Only a strong woman of character and mind, can step forward and help her man. You were blind to the fact that the woman in the movie, was scared of what her husband would think of her, but her REAL friends, showed her that if they stick together and showed the men, that sometime, the women can strengthen their men, and help in dire situation.

[@bigalsez]

In the early 1970s I showed this film to all the classes I taught at a community college in Flint, MI, a town that made labor history with the factory occupation strikes in the mid-1930s. The film's combination of class, race-ethnic, and gender oppression had many lessons for students. It was probably one of the first explicit movies discussing women's liberation. I believe the film was based on a strike in Silver City, NM in 1950-51 or thereabouts. And, yes, it got hardly any showings because it appeared during the repressive McCarthy era and the director was one of the Hollywood 10.

I''m not sure my family was that poor, but my father always treated us like we were. I can remember my father using a balloon tire bike he bought second hand as our only means of transportation. When my mother became ill (Deep Vein Thrombosis) after the birth of her 4th heavy baby in less than 5 years, the guys at the mill took up a collection for our family about 1954. My father had saved up enough money to buy a car finally after 6 years of marriage. He didn't want to take the money because he was afraid the guys would think he'd spent the money on a used car! What a conundrum! I think he probably did take the money though. We would have needed it to pay for babysitters to replace my mother. My mother lived to nearly 96 and died in 2019 so she survived DVT when 4 other women in the town had died from a clot moving to their brain or their heart and killing them.

This movie was banned cause it was a great movie about Mexican immigrants together with organizing oppressed workers via unions and collective action.

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

I guess you missed the part in the beginning where the female narrator says that she and her family had always lived there since before the English came. Remember or realize that when Caesar Chavez got his United Farm Workers organized, they went to the Mexican border and beat up Mexicans trying to come in and work as scabs on farms. The Communist Party USA made up films like this during this time. It's a fiction, but everyone pretends its real. I lived in Slovenia for a few years in the late 90s. They loved to play this film and another called, "This is America," which was as extreme exaggeration of the South as possible. They made these films mostly for use in foreign countries to bash Capitalism and the U.S.

Thanks to Google for bringing this movie to my attention. The story went much deeper than I expected, with the role the women played in this movie. Fascinating how little has changed. Substitute 'protest' for 'strike' and we have the story of our times (remember the Canadian Freedom convoy of 2022?) That's the way to stand up to tyranny, with a united front and no violence. "together we can push everything with us". Inspiring.

LOLOL! Protecting your fellow Canadians and other North Americans from a deadly contagious disease is not tyranny. It's the way to go. We have public healthcare in Canada. We aren't like the Americans who are willing to let people die en masse to make enormous profits for for profit hospitals and clinics. We had to shut the country down to keep vulnerable populations free from COVID-19 and its variants. We are not done yet with this disease. Get vaccinated as soon as the new vaccinations are available. COVID-19 can still kill or maim you or your loved ones or your neighbours, if you don't. And, no, you don't have the right to terrorize the capital of Canada by bringing your Big Wheels right up to Parliament Hill.

It was my great privilege to teach young Hispanic children in a huge school district. Their mothers brought them to school early and dressed them beautifully. They arrived early to pick them up always asking for extra homework. They wanted their children to excel. They also came after school to English classes for adults often bringing the grandmothers. Those mother's were a force to be reckoned with as many have found standing for many good principles. Much respect.

I agree, every Hispanic American immigrant I've ever met was hard working and decent. I'm glad to have them in this country.

The point is made in the film that the grandfather of one of the men owned the land on which the mine was now situated. These so-called "Mexicans"--it's really a slur, I think--are, in fact, Hispanic-Americans.

Maman à 50 ans a trouvé un emploi pour elle et mon petit frère (il avait 10 ans). J'ai beaucoup de respect pour les mineurs. Cela s'est passé dans les années 70.
