CESAR’S LAST FAST, a documentary film directed by Richard Ray Perez will see its theatrical release this week in New York and Los Angeles. Using archive footage personal interviews from Chavez’ closest peers, Perez brings the untold story of this civil rights leader to the big screen. Inspired by Catholic social teaching, Cesar Chavez risked his life fighting for America’s poorest workers.
The film illuminates the intensity of one man’s devotion and personal sacrifice, the birth of an economic justice movement, and tells an untold chapter in the story of civil rights in America.
