Diego Luna directs this biographical drama based on the life and
achievements of Mexican American civil rights activist and labour
movement leader Cesar Chavez. The film shows how Chavez (Michael
Peņa) went from being just another Latino American farm worker to a
passionate and respected spokesperson whose embrace of non-violent
means of protest led to the securing of a living wage for workers
like himself.
The first major collection of writings by civil rights leader Cesar
Chavez
One of the most important civil rights leaders in American
history, Cesar Chavez was a firm believer in the principles of
nonviolence, and he effectively employed peaceful tactics to
further his cause. Through his efforts, he helped achieve dignity,
fair wages, benefits, and humane working conditions for hundreds of
thousands of farm workers. This extensive collection of Chavez's
speeches and writings chronicles his progression and development as
a leader, and includes previously unpublished material. From
speeches to spread the word of the Delano Grape Strike to testimony
before the House of Representatives about the hazards of
pesticides, Chavez communicated in clear, direct language and
motivated people everywhere with an unflagging commitment to his
ideals.
