Dark Angels and Salt of the Earth
DARK ANGELS (1998) Written, Produced and Directed by David Wadley - Je Nie Fleming (Law and Order), portrays Angela; a woman faced with the decision to have her baby or succumb to the wishes of her physically abusive husband, Demond, and get an abortion. For him, it's the fast track to money, power, drugs and sex, without any family responsibilities getting in his way. Divine intervention steps in as the mean streets of Atlanta become killing streets, where Angela and Demond find themselves on a downward spiral of self-destruction and hopelessness. But the will to survive is strong in Angela. She soon realizes that if she and her unborn child are to survive, she must find herself spiritually and then stand up to fight for what she believes in - no matter what the cost. SALT OF THE EARTH (1954), Rosaura Revueltas plays the starring role of Esperanza Quintero, the wife of a Mexican American zinc worker, who becomes involved in the struggle for workers' and women's rights during a violent strike. Based on actual events, this landmark film depicts the strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico. Salt of the Earth deals with feminism, housework, child care, sanitation and prejudice against Mexican American workers, who go on strike to attain wage parity with Anglo workers in other mines and to be treated with dignity by their employers. The film is an early treatment of feminism, because the wives of the miners play a pivotal role in the civil protest, against their husbands wishes. In the end, the women evolve from the men's subordinates into their allies and equals. This film was written, directed and produced by members of the original "Hollywood Ten," who were blacklisted for refusing to answer Congressional inquiries on First Amendment grounds.
