Produced at the height of the Hollywood Red Scare by blacklisted filmmakers, 1954's Salt of the Earth is a groundbreaking drama that highlights the roles of Latina women and striking mineworkers.  Jenn Chavez talks with the organizers of an upcoming event at the Hollywood Theatre about the continuing relevance of this neorealist classic.

Then, S.W. Conser is joined by visting artists from the Cascade Festival of African Films, continuing its run with a playwriting series, Saturday social hours, musical performances, Family Film Day, and Women Filmmakers' Week.

And we'll also hear about the new "micro-budget" feature film Shut Up Anthony from local director Kyle Eaton.
