The Insane Saga of ‘Salt of the Earth,’ the Only Film to Be Blacklisted

The Insane Saga of ‘Salt of the Earth,’ the Only Film to Be Blacklisted

For over a decade beginning in 1947, the anti-Communist witch hunt that was the Hollywood Blacklist ruined careers, families, and lives.

Producer and screenwriter Paul Jarrico was swept up in the second wave and also stayed silent.
