Salt of the Earth is a 1954 drama by Michael Wilson. It tells the story of a long, difficult strike by Mexican-American miners against the Empire Zinc Company in Bayard (near Silver City), New Mexico in 1950-1951 (In the film, the events were set in the fictional village of "Zinc Town"). In neorealist fashion many of the miners and their families had parts in the film.
