Salt of the Earth (1954)
This film, now in the US public domain tackles Mexican American workers navigating their struggle against the system for better working conditions, as well as redefining their understanding of gender roles within their families and communities to better unify and leverage their power against their oppressors. This film is a very powerful example of class warfare in action, it is based on actual mining strikes that happened and the production and distrobution of this film recieved similar treatment from Hollywood as you will see in it. I believe every working citizen within our society should see this film at least once as similar tactics have been used against the people throughout human history.
