This weeks assignment!

This movie was made by Hollywood's blacklisted artists during the contraversial era in which people were discriminated against for thier political views--presummed to be communists. It's a great story about the Chicano plight (discrimination) with a great twist that parallels feminist issues throughout the entire movie. It covers issues of class, unions, gender and the power of the people to shape thier own future. It's a black and white movie made in 1954--enjoy.
