Description

THE ONLY BLACKLISTED AMERICA FILM!

Director: Herbert J. Biberman
Stars: Juan Chacón, Rosaura Revueltas, Will Geer

Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers, who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses.

This film was written, directed and produced by members of the original "Hollywood Ten," who were blacklisted for refusing to answer Congressional inquiries on First Amendment grounds.
