Viva La Causa Fim Screening & Conversations with Delores Huerta sharing over 50 yrs of Activism
Date: September 18, 2009
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Place: McLane 121
“Conversations with Delores Huerta sharing over 50 yrs of Activism” 4 p.m., McLane 121
Discussant: Dolores Huerta
Viva La Causa (2008). This film illustrates how thousands joined a movement for justice to help the most exploited people in our country — the workers who put food on our tables. The film focuses on the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, a seminal event in the march for human rights. As racist rhetoric pollutes the immigration debate, the film could not be timelier. This film tells the story of how the powerless stood up to the powerful and gained their victory, not by violence, but by their strong will.
The events are cosponsored by College of Arts & Humanities, Associated Students Inc., Central Valley Cultural Heritage Institute, Mass Communication & Journalism, Communication and Women's Studies Departments at California State University Fresno, Fresno Free College Foundation, and Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.
CineCulture is a film series provided as a service to the Fresno State campus students, faculty, and staff, and community, at no charge. CineCulture is also offered as a 3 unit academic course in the Mass Communication and Journalism Department.
