Set in the United States at the height of the Red Scare, the riveting film One of the Hollywood Ten boldly retells the true story of Jewish director Herbert Biberman's struggle to continue making films in the face of Cold War paranoia and blacklisting of the 1940's and 50's. Hauled before Senator Joseph McCarthy's infamous House Un-American Activities Committee, Biberman (played by Jeff Goldblum, from The Big Chill) refuses to falsely denounce his fellow filmmakers as communists and, for this refusal, is imprisoned. Jailed with nine other filmmakers, Biberman became part of the group dubbed the "Hollywood Ten". Despite an Academy Award gracing her mantel, Biberman's wife Gale (played by Greta Scacchi, from The Player) is soon blacklisted for her unflinching support of her husband. Once released from prison, Biberman defies the blacklist and begins work on the film The Salt of the Earth; the story of the real-life battle for civil rights by Hispanic miners. Part historical courtroom drama and part intimate biography, Director Karl Francis' film is a bittersweet testament to the achievements of Herbert and Gale Biberman. With Angela Molina (star of Pedro Almodovar's Live Flesh, as Mexican actress Rosaura Revueltas).
