Dolores Film Screening

Please join us for a screening of Dolores, a 2017 American documentary directed by Peter Bratt, on the life of Chicana labor union activist Dolores Huerta. A virtual Q&A and discussion with the director Peter Bratt will take place on Thursday, October 6.

The film centers on Dolores Huerta's committed work to organize California farmworkers as the co-founder of the UFW (United Farm Workers), in alliance with the Chicano Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Gay liberation and US-based LGBTQ social movements, and the late 20th century Women's rights movement. Including recent and historical interviews with Huerta and her family members, the documentary includes historic film footage from the farmworker strikes and marches, Senator Robert F. Kennedy's meetings with the organizers during his Presidential campaign, as well as interviews with UFW co-founder Cesar Chavez, theatre artist Luis Valdez, Angela Davis, Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.
