A SONG FOR CESAR is a documentary film with a unique view of the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez and the farmworkers movement. The film tells a previously untold story about the musicians and artists – including Joan Baez, Maya Angelou, and Carlos Santana, among others – who dedicated their time, creativity and even reputations to peacefully advance Cesar Chavez’s movement of labor organizing struggle in pursuit of better wages and working conditions for farmworkers. The documentary also explores other facets of Cesar’s life – from childhood to his final days – revelations that, until now, have not been shared on screen.
