Salt of the Earth
The film of the action - The SCAD video

Recently one of Salt of the Earth's keen supporters, the documentary film maker David Freise-Green put his professional skills and talents into the pot and has produced the most wonderful film showing the work, successes and colaboration between the charity Salt of the Earth and SCAD (Social Change and Development).

From the salt pan workers on the coast of Tamil Nadu to the gypsy community, lepers, harijans and disposessed the film takes us on a tour de force vision and revelation of an extraordinary ex-Catholic priest of Indian origins who gave up the priesthood and has helped enable hundreds of thousands of the wretchedly poor and disenfranchised to find value, worth and a livelihood in a country that had to all intents and purposes forgotten and ignored them.

The success and partnership that has been forged between SCAD and SOTE is witnessed in the amazing and uplifting stories of those that have directly benefitted from the many hundreds of supporters' contributions to the charity and the work.

Jeremy Irons, the world renowned actor and patron of Salt of the Earth, the UK charity that is the main fund raiser for SCAD (Social Change and Development) has lent his voice and authority in contributing the voiceover for the soundtrack to the film

Murray Frankland acknowledges Jeremy's invaluable endorsement for SCAD and SOTE (Salt of the Earth)

"It is a great honour that someone of Jeremy’s stature has agreed to have his name associated with us. He has also given up his time to record the narration for our new Salt of the Earth video. Copies of the video/DVD are available so phone, write or email for your copy."
