Event Description
On March 5, the Center for Latin American Studies hosted a screening of "Cesar Chavez" with director Diego Luna and producer Pablo Cruz. After the screening, Luna discussed his film with Arturo Rodriguez, president of the United Farm Workers; Maria Echaveste of the Berkeley Law School; and Harley Shaiken, professor and chair of CLAS.
“I think that’s what makes the film very powerful… when you see it you don’t see a man with a cape and a mask… you see a man doing something completely achievable by us — by you, by me, by anyone.” — Diego Luna
