film still: 'A Song for Cesar'

A Song for Cesar presents a unique view of the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez and the farmworker movement, telling a previously untold story about the musicians and artists – including Joan Baez, Maya Angelou, and Carlos Santana, among others – who dedicated their time, creativity and even reputations to peacefully advance Chavez’s movement to gain equality and justice for America’s suffering farmworkers. The documentary also explores other facets of Cesar’s life – from childhood to his final days – revelations that, until now, have not been shared on screen. The film features musical performances and interviews with actors, musicians, activists and writers including Dolores Huerta, Edward James Olmos, Graham Nash, Carlos Santana, Joan Baez, Cheech Marin, Taj Mahal, playwright Luis Valdez, and more.
