Rage Against The Machine Guitarist and System Of A Down Singer Team Up On Protest Song…Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), his son Roman, and Serj Tankian just dropped a new song called “Adjourn It”.
Clips from the film SALT OF THE EARTH (1954) are woven throughout the “ADJOURN IT” video to reflect the song’s theme of resistance in the face of prejudice and injustice. The film is based on a true story of Mexican-American miners fighting against labor exploitation, racism, and institutional oppression, and was made by three Hollywood executives blacklisted for their political beliefs. It stars real zinc miners and was one of the first ever truly independent films. SALT OF THE EARTH was a powerful act of defiance in its time and more than half a century later, its themes continue to echo through today’s political climate. “ADJOURN IT” channels the defiant legacy of the film reinforcing the importance of solidarity in bringing people together against fear and division.
