About this item
In the 1960s and '70s, Cesar Chavez and farmworker activists formed an alliance with musicians and artists to help build a movement called "La Causa". A Song for Cesar tells the story of that alliance using first person accounts of artists, musicians, members of Chavez's family, and other key figures of the movement. Inspired by the spirit of the thousands of farmworkers who struggled for justice alongside labor leaders Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, the film highlights the ways in which music and the arts were essential in building the farmworkers' movement. Pairing rare archival footage and anecdotes about Chavez's early life as a migrant worker with a wealth of prominent interviewees, such as Maya Angelou, Joan Baez, Carlos Santana, Cheech Marin, Edward James Olmos, Graham Nash, Luis Valdez and Taj Mahal, we bear witness to the inception of the United Farm Workers Union, the emergence of Chicano art, the role of theater in the struggle, and nonviolent action and art as a response to state and corporate violence. All of these elements form the legacy of a movement that joined social struggle and culture at the hip. A Song for Cesar weaves together impassioned music and art that strove for social justice emblematic of the period, making for a timely and contemporary reminder of art's role in progressive change and the road still ahead of us today.
