Cesar Chavez

Happy Cesar Chavez Day. Today a man was born who risked his life as well as the lives of his family, friends, and co-workers because he knew that it was worth it. The shameful fact is that many corporations don't give a s*** about workers. They see them as means to an end. The end being the most profit they can make. I'm different. I believe that every human that wakes up in the morning and goes to work represents a soul. That soul deserves dignity. That soul deserves respect. That soul deserves pay that is enough to allow them to thrive. Not just the pay bills, but to have hobbies, to take care of their friends and families, to donate to good causes, to add to their savings account. Cesar Chavez believed in these things. I believe in them too. This is a great movie. You should watch it.

I loved it! I can totally relate to the ups and down of a family. Can't wait for 2nd season 🙌

Great movie definitely a must see film. As always, Michael Peña nailed it.

I appreciated this forgotten or little know part of American history. I knew bits and pieces of the story but this sheds light on the harrowing journey that Cesar Chavez and his family were willing to take to give rights to poor immigrants who were suffering and pave the way for millions of future migrant workers to have better lives. The acting was superb. I am going to have my children watch this so they better appreciate the story behind who picks the produce that ends up on their plates. And so they can appreciate the power of organizing for a cause that is just.

This is an interesting story - one I wasn't familiar with and so I enjoyed it from a historical perspective, although it is understandably frustrating, not least because of the hatred and discrimination there still is for non-whites in the US (and elsewhere). The cast do a good job - its an ok watch. I liked that Cesar was clearly against using violence, it shows who the real criminals are, in my view. It seemed to me a bit of a TV film sort of a film - not a big, hyped up Hollywood kind of a film but certainly not a bad film either. The script isn't bad and it makes for a thoughtful watch, even though it is perhaps a little bland. I would recommend this film overall, yes.

incredibly difficult to follow and dreadfully slow at times not up to the quality it should be

Pena and Vargas were very good in this. Everyone else should of been recast. Everyone were not believable for the roles.

An honest, raw view of an important figure in our country's history. Strong performances by Dawson and Ferrera. Interesting sub plot line on gender dynamics. Overall the movie is well worth it. Don't believe the (anti) hype!

This is a decent movie about Cesar Chavez with good performances from the entire cast.

Cesar Chavez the movie doesn't quite live up to the man but is still worth seeing. I think I actually would have liked the movie to be a bit longer to explore more facets of his life. It isn't that the movie isn't well crafter or well acted, it just feels a bit incomplete. Yet, I think it still proves to be an educational endeavor, and with the 2016 presidential election, and the immigration positions of Donald Trump (and others), the movie is timely examination of immigrant workers in our country.
