Celebrating Labor and Hispanic Heritage

Thursday, September 5 Cesar Chavez     2014 / 102 min. / PG-13

 

Founder of the United Farm Workers, Cesar Chavez (Michael Peña) organized 50,000 farm workers in California to fight for fair pay and safe working conditions. Rosario Dawson plays Dolores Huerta, who worked alongside Chavez. John Malkovich plays a wealthy grape farmer trying to break the union.

 

Thursday, August 12   Raising Victor Vargas.  2002 / 88 min. / R

 

Roger Ebert wrote that this film, set on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, "tells the heartwarming story of first love that finds a balance between lust and idealism. Acted by fresh-faced newcomers who never step wrong, it sidesteps the cliches of teenage coming-of-age movies and expands into truth and human comedy. It's the kind of movie you know you can trust, and you give yourself over to affection for these characters who are so lovingly observed."

 

Thursday, September 19 Under the Same Moon 2007 / 106 min. / PG-13

 

Nine year old Carlitos lives with his grandmother in the Mexican town where he was born. His mother has crossed the “US border illegally to LA to work and send money home. When his grandmother dies and other relatives try to take advantage, Carlitos pays coyotes to smuggle him across the Rio Grande, leading him to danger and to people who help him.

Thursday, September 26         Motorcycle Diaries 2004 / 126 min. / R

Youthful medical student Che Guevara and a fellow doctor travel the length and breadth of South America on a motorcycle, on foot, on a raft, and so on—whatever conveyance allows them to keep exploring. They stay a while at a leper colony, at an open pit copper mine and in other lower class communities. Che is moved by the very poor people along their way.
