Historia basada en hechos acerca de la corrupción que se produjeron durante las elecciones presidenciales de los Estados Trabajadores Mineros en 1969. Jock Yablonski era un fiel seguidor del entonces jefe, Tony Boyle.

This fascinating making-of documentary investigates the controversy and political atmosphere surrounding the production of Salt of the Earth, movingly chronicling the filmmakers' defiance of the blacklist. (BAM)
Narration
On the first hot day of summer, an old farmer goes fishing just as he has done for many years on the West Branch of the Delaware River. A young boy, his frequent fishing companion, eagerly takes him to see the first giant bulldozers, which are to begin construction on the Cannonsville Reservoir. In order to provide more water for the cities, the vast project will flood the valley. The old man goes to the general store and walks the length of the valley to talk about his concerns, but most people do not support him. The young people of the valley celebrate at a barn dance. The old man resists eviction with his unloaded flintlock. The next day, he watches as the houses and farms are burned to clear the way. His friend, the fiddler, picks him up and takes him and his few belongings away.

Assistant Director
Unos mineros de Nuevo México van a la huelga tras una serie de incidentes, librando una dura y amarga batalla en la que recibirán el apoyo de sus mujeres. Controvertido melodrama semidocumental en el que intervienen personajes auténticos, y que tuvo innumerables problemas durante y después del rodaje; el director, el productor, es guionista, el compositor y el actor Will Geer estaban, en aquella época, en la "lista negra" del comité de actividades antiamericanas del senador McCarthy. Hoy en día "Salt of the Earth" es uno de los pocos films preservados por la Librería del Congreso de los Estados Unidos por su importancia histórica y cultural.
