Hollywood, CA - In the heart of Hollywood, at the historic Chinese Theater, a multi-cultural mix of people came out to celebrate the Hollywood Premiere (3/20/14) of Cesar Chavez - a Mexican-American migrant laborer-turned-civil rights activists.
All of the performances are convincing and they very much pull you into the world of the working class laborers in the 60's. The film is moving and with most of it being true, there are moments when you want to clap and chant out loud along with the actors in the film.
It was such an exciting moment for me to see the film's director Diego Luna and the stars of the film - Michael Peña, America Ferrera, Rosario Dawson, Jacob Vargas, Yancey Arias, along with so many other American Latino actors and supporters attend the premiere...then simply crossing the street to continue the celebration at the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for the official after party which Hennessy V.S. hosted.
Just one day after Cesar Chavez screened at the White House, we have them all here in Hollywood! Finally, we get to see this long overdue story on the big screen of one of America's preeminent civil rights leaders Cesar Chavez.
