Dolores (2017)

Dolores Huerta bucks 1950s gender conventions by starting the countrys first farm workers union with fellow organizer Cesar Chavez What starts out as a struggle for racial and labor justice soon becomes a fight for gender equality within the same union she is eventually forced to leave As she wrestles with raising 11 children three marriages and is nearly beaten to death by a San Francisco tactical police squad Dolores emerges with a vision that connects her new found feminism with racial and class justice
