"I Am Salt" was educational...I had no idea salt was mined that way in India. I really enjoyed all aspects of the film, excluding the main male "character." What a rude, unkind, demanding, thankless person! I was hoping throughout the movie someone would tell him to knock it off, but, alas, it did not happen. If not for his unlikable presence, I would have given the movie 10 stars.

So much work for so little pay...and the children had no say in being forced to work in the desert for 8 month, with no entertainment, comfortable sleeping arrangements, or plentiful food. I wished better for all of them (except for Meanie).

I hope Farida Pacha makes more films; she is talented and can tell a compelling story!

I took my time watching this film. I stopped it three times in three weeks, but always came back. I never forgot about it. Just like the creators took their time in filming it. It's like no other thing I have seen. The director lets the sights and sounds stir our thoughts of what and how. Perhaps even why. Enough is revealed that we get it, step by step. Peering into a world that is very specific and very different than anything I have ever seen or considered.

I knew nothing about this part of India or way of life. A very desolate landscape and way of life, portrayed in a sensitive, minimalistic, and artistic manner. This film drew me, kept my attention.
