The Hidden History of Salt: How Salt Challenged an Empire | The Great Salt Mystery

Salt looks ordinary—but for centuries, it has been a source of wealth, power, taxation, and rebellion. From the ancient salt settlements of Europe and China to the French salt tax, the Great Hedge of India, and Gandhi’s historic Salt March to Dandi, this documentary uncovers the hidden history of one of the most important everyday substances in human civilization. Why did governments control salt? Why was an enormous hedge built across India to stop untaxed salt? And how did something as small as a lump of salt-encrusted mud become a symbol of resistance? Discover the forgotten stories behind salt, taxation, trade, monopoly, and civil disobedience.
