Salt Of the Earth (Blu-ray, 1954) National Film Registry, LIKE NEW

Description: Based on an actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico, the film deals with the prejudice against the Mexican-American workers who struck to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by the bosses. In the end, the greatest victory for the workers and their families is the realization that prejudice and poor treatment are conditions that are not always imposed by outside forces. According to Wikipedia, the film was called 'subversive' and was blacklisted because the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers sponsored it and many blacklisted Hollywood professionals helped produce it. The union had been expelled from the CIO in 1950, over the alleged domination of its leadership by communists. In 1992, the film was added to the National Film Registry. The item I have is like new. The scans you see are of the exact item you will receive. I am retired and am reluctantly liquidating my vast Blu-ray and DVD collection including many OOP and hard to find items. I am slowly posting them so check back often. My Blu-rays and DVDs are coming from a private, smoke-free household, were always gently handled, and were generally viewed only once. The vast majority were acquired as new and are in excellent condition with minor (if any) shelf wear. Unless I explicitly state otherwise, my offerings DO NOT contain the digital code. I go to the post office at least once per day - even on weekends - and frequently even more. As a result, I almost always ship the same day and never worse than the following day (if you happen to order late in the day). By default, I ship using Media Mail to provide the lowest possible shipping cost. For a little extra, I also offer Ground Advantage (which has replaced First Class delivery) for most of my offerings and I have found that makes a VERY noticeable difference both in delivery speed and tracking reliability. Although deliveries have gotten better than at the height of covid, the USPS occasionally does not indicate when I have actually dropped your package off. Be assured I have done so no later than 24 hours and usually within a few hours of your order. Thanks for your patience. Note: I will ship to many countries using eBay's global delivery service. eBay will charge you an extra fee for this service. Unfortunately, I cannot accept returns for international shipments due to complexities with customs. But if something is obviously wrong, I'll work with you. Domestic returns accepted for defective items only.
