Documentary: "Dolores" -- on life and impact of Farm Workers Union activist / feminist -- Center Human Rights, IUSB

Tuesday December 5, 2017


Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. 

With unprecedented access, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. 

From Director Peter Bratt and Executive Producer Carlos Santana, "Dolores" is currently in limited release around the United States, and this South Bend (1040 W. Washington) showing is currently the only showing in Indiana.
