Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum presents a 70th anniversary screening of Salt of the Earth, the 1954 film that faced censorship for its pro-union themes and involvement of blacklisted artists. This event highlights the courage and solidarity depicted in the film, with a panel discussion moderated by film historian Ed Rampell and featuring the children of the artists involved, including Becca Wilson and Bill Jarrico. Ellen Geer, who appeared in the film, and Heather Wood, grandchild of labor organizers featured in the story, will also participate. A Q&A session will follow the screening, offering insights into this important piece of cinematic history.
