La sal de la tierra (1954)
La sal de la tierra narra una huelga de mineros en el sur de Estados Unidos que, cansados de que sus condiciones de trabajo sean cada vez peores, deciden parar la actividad. Cuando la ley obliga a disolver los piquetes, entonces son las mujeres de los mineros las que se ponen al frente de la huelga, aprovechando un vacío legal. Sus demandas aumentan, ya que exigen, además de mejoras en el trabajo, mejoras en las condiciones de vida, y una igualdad no solo laboral sino sexual.
