Welcome to the 27 Social Centre.
Made during the height of the McCarthy era by a group of blacklisted filmmakers who were among the best and the brightest Hollywood talent of the day, Salt of the Earth is a powerful and emotionally charged feature length film. The film is based on a 1950 strike by zinc miners in Silver City, New Mexico. Against a backdrop of social injustice, a riveting family drama is played out by the characters of Ramon and Esperanza Quintero, a Mexican-American miner and his wife. In the course of the strike, Ramon and Esperanza find their roles reversed: an injunction against the male strikers moves the women to take over the picket line, leaving the men to domestic duties. The women evolve from men's subordinates into their allies and equals.
And don’t forget to stop by to visit our new digs. Call first (720.840.0652), or email, to make sure it’s staffed, though you can always browse on your own or ask the shop workers for help. And speaking of staffing, please call or email (see above) to volunteer for a shift. Thanks!
Three new T Shirt designs available here.
