**About "Song for Ceasar"**   
This is the story of how labor leader Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers  
Union (UFW) formed an alliance with musicians and artists to help build a  
movement called “La Causa.”  
 The documentary, through the first person accounts of artists, musicians,  
members of Cesar’s family and other key figures of the movement explores how  
Cesar’s life and struggle sparked music and the arts to interact with this social  
movement, each influencing the other to create cultural trends and impact  
historical events.  
 “Song for Cesar: The Music and the Movement” depicts how this collaboration  
helped Cesar Chavez in his fight to raise the consciousness of a nation and  
improve the working and living conditions of farmworkers and their families.  
Cesar’s legacy and the story of the people who work so hard put food on our  
tables must be passed on to future generations.

 *Presented in collaboration with the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures; Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, and Right; the Harvard Divinity School; Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción- Arts Program, and the Moses Mesoamerican Archive.*
