Join the Campo de Cahuenga Museum in a FREE community screening of the historic film, Salt of the Earth (1954), Saturday, May 3, 2025, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Free popcorn and beverages!
Considered the first feminist film in the United States film history, and first screened on March 14th, 1954 in New York City. Done in a similar fashion to the Italian Neorealist filmmakers after WW2, this film was created with a professional and unprofessional cast which included the leads Rosario Revueltas, a Mexican film actress, and Juan Chacon, a copper miner. The film’s aim was to showcase the everyday life and struggles of working-class people in a New Mexico zinc mine and their historic wins. Based on a true story, this film, while historic, is relevant and pertinent to today.
