Andres Alegria and Abel Sanchez sing (metaphorically speaking) ”A Song for Cesar”

What started as a simple song that Abel Sanchez wrote to commemorate the work of the late Cesar Chavez, who along with Dolores Huerta, organized the United Farmworkers Union, grew into something much bigger. With the blessings and perspectives of Maya Angela, Dolores Huerta and many others and the filmmaking partnership with Andres Alegria (who is the co-director), the song grew into a music video and then a feature-length film. The film takes on the question of what the role of music and art is in building and sustaining social justice movements as powerful as the United Farmworkers Union.
