Blown Away producer Marblemedia and Fae Pictures have a union-organizing drama, Salt, in development.
The series is created by Transplant writer Abdul Malik and is pitched as an exposé into how union organizing in America works. Salt follows Mohammad “Mo” Akram, a young man who takes a job as a “salt,” which is a labor union term for someone who goes undercover to get a job in a workplace with the goal of organizing a union.
The political drama will see Mo covertly unionize an upscale international hotel chain in Chicago, while leaving vulnerable workers he aims to protect and threatening his politically influential family.
Besides co-writing the the film Peace By Chocolate, which premiered at Tribeca, Malik has written for NBC’s Transplant and penned two feature films, Streams Flow from a River and Queen Tut.

Canada’s Marblemedia and LA- and Toronto-based Fae Pictures have teamed to develop political prime-time drama series Salt, from screenwriter Abdul Malik (Transplant).
Blown Away producer Marblemedia acquired rights to the project at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival’s Series Accelerator program.
Salt follows Mohammad “Mo” Akram, raised by a wealthy and politically influential Muslim family that’s reeling from a scandal that’s decimated the U.S.’s working class. Seeking to make amends for his father’s mistakes, he takes a job as a ‘salt’ — someone who gets a job at a specific workplace with the intention of organizing a union — so he can infiltrate and covertly bring together the workers at an opulent international hotel chain in Chicago from the inside.
The series will address the resurgent labor movement currently sweeping through the U.S. in a world shaped by Malik’s personal insights working within the movement for a decade.
