Manzi: the Adventures of Young Cesar Chavez April 21, 2007

Can one young Mexican-American boy bring more justice into the world? 'Manzi: The Adventures of Young Cesar Chavez,' by Jose Cruz Gonzalaes, explores this question in a Bay Area premiere. The story of the late, great leader of America's migrant farm workers, as told by his sister, Rita, describes the hardships he and his family face when they lose their farm in Arizona and move to California to pick crops in the fields. The lessons the young Cesar learns about intolerance, injustice and the value of education inspire his lifelong quest to improve conditions for farm workers and bring dignity to their lives.
