Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico in 1950-1951. The issues were equity in wages with Anglo workers, safety, and health. The movie was written by Michael Wilson, directed by Herbert J. Biberman, and produced by Paul Jarrico. All had been blacklisted by Hollywood. The Washington Post writes: "During the course of production in New Mexico in 1953, the trade press denounced it as a subversive plot, anti-Communist vigilantes fired rifle shots at the set, the film's leading lady was deported to Mexico, and from time to time a small airplane buzzed noisily overhead.... The film, edited in secret, was stored for safekeeping in an anonymous wooden shack in Los Angeles." Banned for years in the USA, now in the National Film Registry.
