Directing a powerful biopic on the iconic, Mexican-American farm worker, labor leader and civil rights activist, Cesar Chavez, was one of the most moving chapters in the life of Mexican actor and director Diego Luna.
In an exclusive interview with the Latin Post, Luna shares the impact the film and the powerful movement is having on his life and career.
"My father believed that workers just aren't workers. He knew that at the workplace, there was a whole set of problems that workers had -- working conditions, benefits, immigration reform and lobbying.
"But he also understood that when home, after a hard work in the fields, pesticide exposure, they went home to face a whole set of problems, the lack of affordable housing health care for children and educational opportunities," Paul Chavez, the son of Cesar Chavez and President and chairman of the Cesar Chavez Foundation told the Latin Post.
