The award-winning documentary film is about the power of grassroots organizing told through the story of legendary organizer Fred Ross. Fred mentored iconic organizers Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez to become the amazing organizers they were and in the case of Dolores continue to be. He dedicated his life to mobilizing people to challenge segregation and to fight for worker’s rights. Fred channeled anger and frustration into building member-led movements to change institutions and policies to improve lives. He worked from the understanding that while protests can draw attention, to create sustainable change, persistence and organization are required to build power and give people a voice in the decisions that shape their living and working conditions.
Now is the time to watch this film to inspire one and all to take up the organizing challenge to preserve democracy.
