Dolores

Peter Bratt, (1962-)

Rate this:
"Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century--and she continues the fight to this day ... With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one's life to social change."--https://www.doloresthemovie.com/aboutnew

Review by GEORGE R WARBURTON

GEORGE R WARBURTON

GEORGE R WARBURTON rated this 5 stars out of 5

I expected something annoyingly stupid, but was curious so watched it anyhow ---- and I'm glad I did. I didn't know about any of this. But I do, as a child, recall everything in our neighborhood being sprayed down with DDT, trees, lawns, front porches, us kids and even our dishes and inside our cupboards. This wasn't just being done in the states. Poor neighborhoods in Canada were also being used as Guinea pigs in experiments and abused this --- and in other --- ways. (Approximately 1959-1962, Byng mount avenue Port Credit Ontario). [I'm white and so are my brothers and sisters. All eight of us.]

This documentary is well worth watching.
