(Redirected from Herbert J. Biberman)
Herbert J. Biberman (1900 - 1971) was a US movie director. He is best known for being one of the Hollywood Ten, a group of film directors who were cited for contempt of Congress during the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947. The contempt conviction earned Biberman 6 months in jail, and he was blacklisted by most Hollywood producers. While blacklisted, Biberman directed Salt of the Earth, an independently produced fictionalized account of a real strike by zinc miners in Grant County, New Mexico.
