This documentary used by the United Farm Workers union chronicles the history of California's migrant agricultural workers and their protests for higher wages, union recognition, and safer working conditions. It includes footage of the Delano grape strike and a 1966 march led by labor leader Cesar Chavez which began in the heart of the grape-growing region of Central California and ended at the state capital in Sacramento.
Civil rights activist and labor leader Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) with Cesar Chavez in the 1960s, talked about how they fought to improve working conditions for field laborers in California. She also spoke about her career as an activist and her role in activism today. C-SPAN's Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) made a stop in their "2013 LCV Cities Tour" in Bakersfield, California, from June 3-7 to feature the history and literary life of the community. Working with the Bright House Networks local affiliate, they visited literary and historic sites where local historians, authors, and civic leaders were interviewed.
Miriam Pawel talked about her book, The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography, in which she chronicles the life and activism of United Farm Workers co-founder and president Cesar Chavez. This event took place at the second annual San Antonio Book Festival, held on April 5, 2014, and was filmed in the auditorium of the San Antonio Central Library.
Participants discussed the life and times of Cesar Chavez, the leader of farm worker unions in the Southwest and throughout the country until his death earlier this year.
Dolores Huerta delivered remarks on the history of the farm workers movement. Following her remarks, panelists talked about the movement's legacy and activist Cesar Chavez.

In his book he presents a history of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers (UFW). Mr. Shaw talked about the role of the UFW as a model in grassroots organization, specifically unionization efforts, and in social justice movements. He also talked about the state of American labor, immigrant rights, and the ascendancy of Latinos in politics. He responded to questions from members of the audience.
Participating from California by remote connection, Mr. Grossman, a former aide to Cesar Chavez, talked about the life and impact of the labor leader and civil rights activist and his influence on the labor movement in the U.S., especially among farm workers.
