History tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by initiating the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this story is his equally influential co-founder, Dolores Huerta, who tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the 20th century. Like so many powerful female advocates, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were - and still are - largely overlooked. Peter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges this incomplete, one-sided history and reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to the fight for justice.
A selection of the Sundance Film Festival and produced by Carlos Santana. 2017, U.S., DCP, in English and Spanish with English subtitles, 98 minutes.
Tickets are free for the Friday, January 5 showing only, on a first-come, first-served basis.
