"Dolores" sheds light on an enigmatic, intensely private woman who is among the most important yet little-known workers' rights activists in American history—Dolores Huerta. In the copious volumes written about Cesar Chavez and how he formed the first farm workers' union in America, there's little mention of Dolores Huerta, although she was his equal partner and co-founder of the union. With unprecedented access to both Dolores and her children, the film reveals the raw, personal stories behind the public figure. It portrays a woman both heroic and flawed, working tirelessly for social change even as her eleven children longed to have her at home. Have you seen this documentary, "Dolores"?
