Diego Luna's star filled (Michael Peña, America Ferrera, Rosario Dawson, John Malkovich, Gabriel Mann, Wes Bentley) drama documentary about the inspiring story of the incredible civil-rights activist and labor organiser Cesar Chavez. This true leader fought for better conditions for the farm workers of America via years of non violent protesting and strikes. Cesar Chavez fasted for weeks fighting for the peoples civil rights and even crossed the ocean to London for the "Delano Grape Strike and Boycott". He and his follow fighters made it all worth in the end, though you see it came at a huge price as you get to see and feel the hell and sacrifice him his family and people around him did for the bigger picture, and that would eventually include better conditions for his own family. A very important part of America's civil rights history that started in California with Michael Peña superbly portraying the true hero and leader of the people Cesar Chavez. The film brings up and rightly timed the rights of the people and the peoples fight for justice, Diego Luna's documentary about the civil-rights activist and labor organiser touches you but doesn't really grab hold of you! / Peter A Eldon. 2014-11-12.
