LOS ANGELES, March 20, 2014 - Pastor Rodriguez has seen the upcoming biopic CESAR CHAVEZ and shares his thoughts on the film, the icon, and why it is important we support this film at this moment in our nation's history.
"The movie is a long overdue tribute to a man who was willing to be a martyr for those who could not help themselves. I support this movie and encourage everyone to see it. It will change hearts and minds."
"The film itself stood true to form in regards to capturing the organizing of farm workers in Delano, California, eventually leading to the United Farm Workers; which led to a National movement that brought about better working conditions and higher wages for the field workers, as well as, social change. Chavez brought about this change through nonviolent civil disobedience, social activism, and hunger strikes." |
