Cinema of Conflict and Transformation Series: Salt of the Earth

This virtual film discussion series centers around films about conflict and transformation and is hosted by ACC Center for Peace and Conflict Studies and ACC Radio-TV-Film Associate Professor, Dr. Mark Cunningham. Coming together to unpack the film, SALT OF THE EARTH, Dr. Mark Cunningham leads the discussion with Dr. Gary Moreno, ACC Professor of History and Director of ACC’s El Centro, and Dr. Maria Cotera, Professor of Mexican American and Latino Studies at University of Texas at Austin. The movie is available to watch on Kanopy and follows Mexican workers at a Zinc mine that call a general strike. It is only through the solidarity of the workers, and importantly the indomitable resolve of their wives, mothers and daughters, that they eventually triumph.
