Herbert Bibermans strejkefilm Salt of the Earth vises 14. marts 1954 i Grande Theatre i New York. Den påtænkte premiere i Chicago 28. maj aflyses.
Filmen er den eneste amerikanske film, der blev sortlistet under McCarthyismen, og blev først vist i USA igen i 1965. Instruktøren var én af de sortlistede ‘Hollywood Ten’, der blev idømt fængselsstraffe for at nægte at besvare spørgsmål fra House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) i oktober 1947.
